Trustees OK purchases

BOARDMAN

The township trustees Monday approved two purchases totaling $48,373. Trustees authorized the purchase of a replacement police vehicle, after an officer was involved in an accident.

The 2019 Ford SUV will cost $31,323.

Because the accident was not the fault of the officer, the department received an insurance check for about $13,000, said police Chief Todd Werth.

Trustees also authorized the purchase of a replacement roof for the township’s storage building, which will cost $17,050.
