The Lafayette City Council approved a property survey for the city compost site, declared several pieces of equipment surplus, and authorized a small equipment purchase during Monday's meeting.
Council voted to proceed with a survey of the compost site at an estimated cost of $1,900. The discussion noted a possible 200-foot-by-200-foot area used for fire department training and raised the option of moving the salt shed to the wastewater treatment facility area; the council instructed staff to obtain the survey and did not specify additional actions or funding sources during the meeting.
Council declared the city's John Deere 850 tractor/mower and sprayer surplus and directed staff to contact Mages Auction for sale. Councilor Tom Polich moved to declare the equipment surplus and Councilor Logan VanDeest seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The council also declared the Jetter Truck surplus and directed it be sold, and it authorized purchasing a sprayer to use with the tool cat at an estimated cost of $1,800.
On contracts and facility care, the council noted a late response from L and L Handyman offering quarterly cleaning at $482.45 and recognized an American Legion request for a stipend to assist with Community Center and memorial park maintenance; Park and Rec staff will meet to explore a possible arrangement. Council deferred replacing a Chevy pickup truck until the fall budget review.
The council recorded no additional funding approvals for these items during the meeting; sale and purchase details will proceed through the usual administrative processes.
