Summary
Council approved the wastewater department's request to buy a one-ton Ford truck at $53,009.23 after staff said $75,000 is budgeted for the purchase; motion passed unanimously.
The Baldwin City Council voted to purchase a one-ton Ford fleet truck for the wastewater department after staff said the vehicle is in the current budget and will be used for sewer cleaning operations.
Speaker 6, representing wastewater staff, told the council the department budgeted $75,000 for a vehicle and had located a fleet truck priced in the $53,000 range with a roughly three-month delivery lead time. "It's $53,923 total," Speaker 6 said, and noted the budgeted line holds $75,000.
Speaker 4 moved to purchase the vehicle "for the price of $53,009.23," a motion seconded by Speaker 7. The council voted 'aye' and the motion passed.
The purchase authorizes staff to order the truck and proceed with procurement; taxes and final incidental costs were noted as additional.
