Council considers cooperative rental agreement for John Deere backhoe at $12,500
Summary
Council members discussed a cooperative rental arrangement to rent a John Deere backhoe for $12,500, with payment initially from city C funds and cost-sharing from other departments; a motion was made but the transcript does not record a final vote.
Fair City Council members reviewed a cooperative rental proposal to secure a John Deere backhoe and discussed funding on Jan. 8. A councilmember said the city would pay the rental from its C funds and other departments would reimburse the city for hours used.
A staff member told the council they had verified funding with a colleague named Gary and that the city would cover the $12,500 rental cost from the C funds, with participating departments providing a log of hours for reimbursement. “I verified that today with Gary. We will pay for this out of the c funds, and then other departments, we will give you a log. You'll tell us how many hours, and then the other departments will pay,” the staff member said.
During the meeting a councilmember moved to approve the cooperative rental agreement for the John Deere backhoe at $12,500. The transcript records the motion but does not capture a recorded second or a vote tally in the provided segment.
A councilmember said they would check the trust account for availability. No final approval or vote appears in the captured transcript excerpt; the motion text and the funding mechanism were discussed on the record.
