City staff presented several capital-plan items at the budget meeting, including equipment purchase options, maintenance estimates for dune walkovers, discussion of a proposed GIS position, and use of a reserve to fund bridge lighting.

On equipment, staff clarified a prior transposition in quotes: the dump truck figure was $96,000 and the bucket truck figure was $200,000. Staff said they had looked at used equipment and found two bucket trucks listed on TruckTrader at approximately $46,000 and $89,000. "If we don't want to spend the 300 for 2 trucks, if we could do 200 and get 2 trucks used, we can go that route as well," said Brian (staff member), recommending thorough mechanical inspections before purchase.

Dune walkover maintenance was listed at about $7,000. Ms. McLennan provided a detailed document explaining the value and need for a GIS position; staff asked commissioners to review the material and said it could be discussed later in the evening.

Staff also said the city has roughly $200,000 in a lighting reserve derived from prior Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) agreements and planned to use that reserve to address bridge lighting. The street lighting agreement is still under review and is expected back before the commission; staff noted the budget currently includes approximately $40,000'$45,000 in anticipated street-lighting revenue.

Commissioners asked that used trucks be inspected by a mechanic and that staff provide full quotes and vendor documentation at the capital-plan discussion. No capital purchases or formal approvals were made at the budget session; staff said these items will be considered further during the capital-plan portion of the budget process.
