Long Prairie approves $553,207 rescue truck purchase, opts to pay in full for $30,000 discount
Summary
The Long Prairie City Council unanimously approved buying a Walk-In Walk-Around rescue truck for $553,207 and amended the motion to pay in full to secure a $30,000 discount; delivery is expected in about 550 days (roughly 1–2 years).
The Long Prairie City Council unanimously approved the purchase of a Walk-In Walk-Around rescue truck on Nov. 4, authorizing acquisition through Alexis via the HGAC cooperative at a listed price of $553,207 and adopting an amendment to pay the full purchase price to secure a $30,000 discount.
Council member Jim Kreemer moved to approve the purchase and Council member Lilah Gripne seconded. Council member JoAnn Schroeder moved the pay-in-full amendment, which passed without opposition. Council minutes note the city could expect delivery in approximately 550 days (about 1–2 years).
Council discussed how the vehicle would be paid for and the potential savings from prepayment. The rescue truck replaces a 1999 rescue vehicle previously budgeted for replacement; officials said the timing reflects manufacturing and delivery schedules.
No financing details beyond the pay-in-full discount were recorded in the meeting minutes; the council approved the amended purchase motion and tasked staff with carrying out payment and procurement steps.
