Century Finances Three New Utility Trucks
October 18, 2017
The Town of Century has voted to purchase three new pickup trucks.
The three 2017 Dodge Ram 3500 crew cab pickups will cost a total of about $107,000 to be financed for 72 months at United Bank. The town obtained two written quotes for financing: Hill Kelly Dodge proposed a 7.13 APR for 72 months, while United Bank in Flomaton proposed a 5.99 APR, also for 72 months.
According to Mayor Henry Hawkins, the stnadard beds will be removed and work bodies added to the trucks. Two will be used in the water department, and one truck will be utilized in the gas department.

IM VERY HAPPY they get a new ride they work for it im only asking is why we did not keep the money in Florida ? do we pay Alabama tax or florida tax
STOP!!! People: we all have no idea the workings of a city government. Unless you have been a Mayor or CouncilPerson, please stop with the horrible comments. If you don’t like what the elected officials are doing then vote them Out. If you can’t vote, then please stop!!! You have no say on these matters.
And to “Concerned” unless you “ride” with these employees everyday as one of them: you don’t have a clue what they do either. There is a reason why we have water, sewage and gas: the employees do their jobs. And trash pick up is a different company:
only one bid? from one a dealership out of town, I know there is no dealership in Century, FL.,but there are multiple dealerships closer to Century than Pensacola Fl.
Y’all have lost y’alls mine. City can’t afford to do up grades on stuff but they can buy new truck’s all of them need help on what needs to be done first like get jobs in here for the people
This way when they are called out they get OT and a new ride.
why not just put a bid in for a cab and chassis since your going to put body’s on and save tax payer’s money . boy you all thought that one out
Why is our tax dollars going out of state is the big question and not helping the local dealer or bank?
Why is it the norm when people are elected as is the case with Henry Hawkins and the council, everything done seems to ring a negative bell for some? Just an inquiring citizen wishing to know….
5.99%?? Century must have bad credit lol
Can’t believe they are getting new trucks just to ride around in not doing nothing,it’s sad residents struggling with trash pick up and these guys get paid real good why buy new trucks.
