Gorham Leasing
Group, through Whited Ford the Daimler Chrysler and Key Bank. Key Bank
and
Daimler
is for a 5-year lease while Gorham Leasing is for 3.
Guy Desjardins, Chair- I would like to let
everyone know why we are going with leasing is there was an issue with the
Article in the warrant . There were a couple of words in that Article that were
missing so that when we went to Androscoggin Bank to get the finance, of course
they asked for bonds and when we got our attorneys involved in it and
technically there a couple of words missing.
We couldn’t guarantee the payment after. So he said the best way to go
without that bond was to go through leasing
Motion that we use the Gorham Leasing Group 3-year lease for the $105,094.00 for the dump truck with 3 payments of $36,899.14 made by Selectman Gino Camardese and seconded by Selectman Bill Henshaw.
