The Town of Dodgeville had contacted the insurance adjustor on the telephone at this meeting to discuss the Towns options. Pam Henkel had indicated that Rural Insurance would pay for the cost of repairs and hope that the hydraulic pump and transmission was not ruined which would cost approximately $38,000 or the Town could opt to walk away from the end loader and receive a check for approximately $56,000 which would be the initial estimate of repairs plus salvage value of the machine. The Town Board had indicated that they were not interested in repairing the end-loader due to future problems occurring on the machine from the accident. Clerk/Treasurer Sara Olson presented a proposal for the current machine that the Township was borrowing from Miller-Bradford & Risberg. The Town of Dodgeville contacted Boone Rule with questions in regards to the proposal that was submitted by Miller-Bradford.
