The Kewanee City Council on June 24 approved Resolution Bill 24-61 to purchase seven commercial lawnmowers from Bock Equipment and Repairs and finance the purchase through the State Bank of Toulon for use in the city’s cemeteries and parks.
Councilmember Colomer moved to approve the purchase and financing and Councilmember Baker seconded. Public Works Director Mr. Newton responded to a question about experience with the selected make and model, saying the department is confident: "they were happy with this option and believe they will work well." The motion passed 4-0.
Council members characterized the purchase as cost-effective given heavy equipment use and wear. The meeting record does not specify the total purchase price or financing terms; those details will appear in procurement documents and the executed financing agreement.
