The Haines Borough Assembly adopted a resolution to authorize the Borough Manager to purchase a 2027 Dodge Ram 2500 with a plow for the Fire Department. The total project cost is not to exceed $110,600, with funding provided by a combination of a previously approved Capital Improvement Program allocation and supplemental funds from the Fire Department's state revenue sharing account. The new vehicle is intended to replace an aging 2004 Ford F-250 that has experienced recurring mechanical and operational reliability issues.
