(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission has approved the purchase of a dump truck for the 3rd District road department.
The Commission Tuesday approved the purchase of a 2006 International 7400 dump truck from Transport Truck Sales, of Kansas City, in the amount of $31,250.
The truck will replace a 1999 Sterling dump truck, which was totaled following an incident in April.
Proceeds from an insurance payment on the truck in the amount of $22,500 will be used to offset the cost.
In other business, Commissioner Tim Collins informed his fellow commissioners that Sean Price began work Tuesday as the new 1st District road foreman.
The Commission approved his hiring last week at a starting salary of $40,000.
