The same company also purchased a 2004 garbage truck owned by the Town of Chatham that had been offered through sealed bids after it was determined their bid was the highest.

These actions were taken after Chatham Mayor Gregory Harris called the meeting to order and acknowledged visitors Sue Henderson, Brandon Myers, John Mize, Judy Cooper, Carrie Watts , Elizabeth Shoemaker, Lewis Chatham, Kelvin McGuire and Robert Harris.

The purchase of two (2) phase pumps for the sewer lift station located at 12420 Hwy 4 was the final action taken before meeting was adjourned.
