Lebanon City — The Lebanon City Council approved Resolution 2026-03 to appropriate $200,000 from Food and Beverage Fund 4439 for the purchase of a park bucket truck.
The council voted to approve the appropriation after an on-the-record presentation from a city representative who said the city has maintained its previous vehicle for about 25 years and that the new purchase would be the city’s first owned bucket truck. The presenter recounted a recent incident in which “a gentleman got stuck up in the bucket,” and said the city’s safety bucket-truck rescue program had been useful in responding to that situation.
The resolution text read into the record states that the appropriation is necessary to maintain the city’s fiscal integrity and public services. The reading specifies that “this will be appropriated out of Food and Beverage Fund 4439 in the amount of $200,000.”

After the vote, the presenter thanked the council for the appropriation and council members made brief remarks about parks staff.
The resolution funds the one-time purchase described in the presentation; the council did not attach conditions or further directions on implementation in the meeting record.
