Description
Since the 1960's or before, the Village has contracted with the Keweenaw County's Road Commission to provide winter road care for the Village. This partnership makes sense as the cost of obtaining and maintaining all of the equipment required for a road maintenance fleet is out of reach for the village. ($42,000 acquisition cost for heavy truck with plow, grader and snowgo attachments, assuming a 5 year loan with payments of $700.00 monthly plus $2100 interest at 5% per annum; fuel and maintenance $3000 annually) Additionally the cost of materials and equipment ($1000), salaries of operators of the equipment ($6000), licensing and insuring the vehicles and workers ($1000) would be beyond our resources. We would also have to build a structure to house the equipment and run utilities to it, along with maintaining the structure (Minimum Cost $90,000. Because the annual cost of the County providing this service to the village is about $8000-$9000, the savings of using the County Road Commission to provide this service is approximately $13,622 while the equipment is being paid off and $5222 thereafter plus the additional cost of the structure and the opportunity cost to the village of using the property for the structure in other development. Overall Savings between $95, 222 and $103,622 to the village by sharing this service.
