Burns Harbor council approves street-sweeper agreement and brush mower purchase
Summary
Council authorized a $4,500 purchase order for a street-sweeper agreement and approved a $3,364 brush mower purchase, both drawn from department funds and authorized for signature.
The Burns Harbor Town Council approved a purchase order for a street-sweeper agreement totaling $4,500 and separately approved the purchase of a brush mower for $3,364 at the council meeting.
Council members discussed administrative steps required to finalize the street-sweeper contract. A council member said the town "just needs us to sign it before we leave" and asked whether the council needed to formally approve the purchase order. Another council member confirmed the council needed to approve the PO so the signature block can be completed. The council then voted to approve the street-sweeper agreement and authorized the appropriate official to sign the associated purchase order.
On a related equipment request, a motion was made to approve a brush mower purchase for $3,364, with councilmembers noting the funds come from the department's existing budget. That motion was seconded and carried.
Both procurement items were described in the transcript as coming from a department budget and as purchases from the same vendor used previously for similar services. The council recorded the approvals on roll call and closed the meeting shortly afterward.
The purchases were approved during the same meeting that opened the 2026 budget public hearing; the transcript does not specify vendor names, purchase order numbers, or which councilmember formally moved or seconded each item.
