The San Luis City Council unanimously approved a settlement agreement to resolve claims related to an inoperable solid-waste truck purchased during the pandemic.

City Attorney Kaye McCoy explained staff’s recommendation: the truck would be sold to Spartan Truck Company Inc. for $220,000 and the sale would include a release of claims against the purchaser and related manufacturers. McCoy said other sellers and manufacturers named in the original purchase were also released as part of the agreement.

A councilor asked if any substantive changes had occurred since prior discussion; staff said there were none. Councilor Mary Rydell moved the settlement; Councilor Javier Vargas seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

Next steps: staff will execute the settlement documents and effect the sale per the terms approved by the council.
