Loading...
Summary
Council approved buying a skid-steer broom and associated curb kit, priced at about $8,500, citing year-round uses including pothole clean-up, park maintenance and quick responses to water breaks.
The Village of East Canton approved a roughly $8,500 purchase of a skid-steer broom and curb kit to improve downtown street and park maintenance.
The village service director described the broom’s spinning spiral brush, curved bucket and curb brush and said the attachment would speed clean-up after water breaks and storm debris. The director told council the attachment would be used in the downtown, on side streets and at the park and asked for approval so the unit could arrive before spring.
Council members debated whether to buy new or look for used equipment and discussed which budget line would cover the cost. The director said the purchase would be paid from the supplies and material line item and noted the village appropriated $35,000 in that line for the street department.
A motion to approve the purchase was made and seconded and passed on roll call; every named member present voted in favor.
