Orion Township Public Works Director Bill Ireland has been given approval by the township board to purchase a 2005 3/4-ton heavy duty GMC pickup truck.
The vehicle will replace a similar 1997 vehicle being used by the department, which has over 105,000 miles on it. The vehicle is used for snow plowing and daily use by the DPW crew leader.
Using the Oakland County bid package, the cost to replace the vehicle will be $24,153.
