Council suspends rules and approves $7,695.40 engine replacement for senior-center bus
Summary
Facing two inoperable city buses, the Wetumpka council suspended its rules and approved immediate replacement of a senior-center bus engine at $7,695.40 so the lift-equipped vehicle can return to service before January/February.
City staff told the council both city buses were out of service and that the lift on one vehicle was not working. The council voted to suspend the rules to allow immediate ordering of an engine to restore service to the senior-center bus; the stated cost was $7,695.40.
The council first voted to suspend rules (roll-call recorded) and then approved the motion to move forward with the purchase so staff can get the engine ordered. Speaker 1 and other council participants noted the need to restore bus service promptly; the suspension and approval were recorded as affirmative on the roll call.
