Council briefed on proposed $400K articulated dump truck for landfill; no action taken
Summary
City staff placed a proposed purchase of an articulated dump truck (approx. $400,000) on the council’s radar to help the landfill meet consent-order obligations; staff will return with financial details before a vote.
City staff notified the Helena-West Helena City Council Tuesday about a pending proposal for the municipal landfill to acquire an articulated dump truck, priced in the neighborhood of $400,000, to address operational needs tied to the landfill’s consent-order obligations. The mayor pro tem said the item was not for immediate action but put on the council’s radar so members could review it in advance. He said the purchase could cost nearly $400,000 and that monthly payments would be roughly $6,000 under the proposed financing. Staff said landfill managers have been renting equipment and that equipment availability and consent-order compliance have driven the request. The council took no action and asked staff to meet with the landfill manager and finance staff to verify the financial plan and timing before bringing a purchase request back to the council.
