Council weighs utility‑mapping software and equipment upgrades for maintenance
Summary
Council members discussed a Zipility demonstration for utility mapping and asset management, potential purchase of higher‑bay LED shop lights, and options to upgrade mowing equipment (approx. $20,000 before trade‑in). Staff will return with pricing.
The Edwardsport council heard two operational proposals on June 16: purchasing asset‑management software and updating maintenance equipment.
Staff reported a Zoom demonstration of Zipility, a utility‑mapping and asset‑management program, and recommended pursuing feasibility and pricing to meet upcoming asset‑management requirements. The clerk and staff agreed to obtain pricing and return next month with the cost and annual fees.
Council also discussed replacing shop lights with high‑bay LED fixtures to reduce frequent replacement costs and considered upgrading a mower/ride‑on unit. Staff cited a price range near $20,000 before trade‑in and said they would explore municipal discounts and possibly advertise the current equipment for sale.
No purchases were approved at the meeting; staff were directed to gather quotes and return with budget figures.
