The Bruton City Council approved a resolution to purchase a replacement street sweeper after members described the current machine as unusable and said the new unit is available from stock.
A council member moved to approve resolution 26-0413-4 to purchase the replacement; the motion was seconded and recorded as approved. "The current one we have is beyond repair," a council member said during the discussion. Another council member noted, "According to Greg, the new equipment is in stock, so we won't have to wait." The transcript does not provide a delivery date or a detailed purchase price.
Members also asked whether the existing sweeper would be cannibalized for parts or placed on a state bid list. Council discussion recorded the question but did not finalize the disposition in the segments provided.
The measure is intended to restore routine street-cleaning operations after the council determined the in-service unit could not be economically repaired. The transcript records the motion, second and approval but does not include a roll-call vote tally or budget line-item details in the record provided.
