# Council approves $100,000 toward a new street department plow truck, with a state grant covering part of the cost
## What happened
The council approved transferring $100,000 from the casino budget to help the street department buy a new plow truck, after the engine on its current truck failed. The total cost is expected to run $240,000 to $260,000, with the rest coming from the street department's own equipment budget and an estimated $65,000 reimbursement through the state's Diesel Wise grant program for retiring the old vehicle.


## The outcome
Passed on a voice vote.
