Council approves public-works mower purchase, appoints Tammy Catamis to Tree Board and closes offices after Thanksgiving
Summary
Council approved a Public Works purchase for a replacement mower (staff said Sourcewell pricing and quotes near $20,000), confirmed an appointment to the Tree Board and approved closing the city office the day after Thanksgiving.
At the Nov. 21 meeting, Lincoln City Council approved a motion to purchase a replacement mower for Public Works and discussed a separate snow-pusher purchase for the city’s mini loader. Public Works staff said the existing mower dates to 2016, parts are difficult to source, and Sourcewell pricing and vendor quotes are available; staff reported quotes around $20,000 and said they expect to recover some cost through trade-in or sale of the old unit.
In other administrative business, Mayor’s appointment of Tammy Catamis (also written as 'Tammy Cataromist' in the transcript) to the Tree Board was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Council also approved a motion to close the city office the Friday after Thanksgiving; the motion passed by voice vote.
Next steps: Public Works will finalize purchase details and proceed under Sourcewell procurement rules as discussed; staff will report final figures at a subsequent meeting. The Tree Board appointment takes effect immediately per council action.
