Summary
On March 4 the Dyersburg board voted to submit invoices for a $2,500 property conservation matching grant reimbursement and approved five procurement items including emergency repairs and equipment replacements for public works, recreation and sanitation.
The City of Dyersburg Board voted on March 4, 2025, to allow staff to submit invoices to participate in the Property Conservation Matching Grant Program (Resolution 03042025) and to approve several procurement and emergency-repair bids for city departments.
The board approved a resolution authorizing the city to participate in the matching grant program and to submit invoices for reimbursement of previously spent eligible expenses. The mayor’s presentation indicated the reimbursement amount to be $2,500.
Council members next approved multiple bids for equipment and repairs:
- Street Department: a motion approved emergency transmission repair for a knuckle-boom truck; the vendor cited was JMP Machine Repair for an amount presented as $11,503.95. The motion was made by Rick Crawford and seconded by Coach Colleen; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
- Wastewater Department: the board awarded a sole-source emergency repair for a final clarifier gearbox to Guthrie Sales and Service (Brentwood, Tennessee) for $51,275. The motion was moved by Joey and seconded by Dennis Moody and carried by voice vote.
- Recreation Department: approval was given to purchase replacement treadmills (Life Fitness) for the recreation center at a presented price of $10,945. The motion was moved by Joey and seconded by James Baltimore and approved by voice vote.
- Recreation — Dyersburg Activity Center: the board accepted a low bid from Artcraft Signs for replacement LED sports lighting fixtures for ball fields for $18,268.28 after receiving two bids; Contra Electric submitted a higher bid. The motion was made by James Baltimore and seconded by Coach Colleen and passed by voice vote.
- Sanitation Department: the board approved purchase of sixteen 6-yard dumpster boxes from WasteQuip (Eagleville) for a presented amount of $16,002.53; that purchase had been approved in last year’s budget. The motion carried by voice vote.
For each purchase the board noted whether the expense was a budgeted item or an emergency repair/maintenance expense when the item was presented. Staff indicated a sole-source letter was provided for the wastewater gearbox prior to the vote.
Board members and staff thanked crews and employees for their work during recent snow, ice and drainage responses and for handling grant-related paperwork. No member requested further action beyond the approvals recorded at the meeting.
All motions recorded on the agenda were approved by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were read into the public record during the meeting.
