The City of Aragon is planning on purchasing some new gear, if the City Council goes along with the plan.

Mayor Judd Fee reported that the city plans to hold a 4 p.m. special called session on Thursday, January 22, to decide on the purchase of two police vehicles and a used fire truck.

Fee reported that the truck in question is being purchased from the City of Braswell for a specific task, and not to fight fires.

Instead, it’ll be a truck utilized by Public Works for the high pressure water system on the truck to clear out drains and in other areas of use where a lot of water for specific tasks.

No additional agenda items are up for discussions or decision.

Check back for more on the purchases as the information becomes available.
