Caledonia council approves trade-in and purchase of front-end loader, shifts $16,399 from snow hauler line
Summary
The council approved a front-end loader purchase that uses a $176,500 trade-in for the city's 2022 John Deere loader; the remaining $36,399 cost will be covered using $20,000 identified in the budget and $16,399 from the snow hauler line.
The Caledonia City Council on July 22 approved the purchase of a new front-end loader, authorizing a trade-in of the city’s 2022 John Deere loader and a budget adjustment to cover the remaining balance.
City Clerk/Administrator Jake Dickson presented the trade-in proposal and told the council the city’s existing 2022 John Deere loader was valued at $176,500, leaving a balance of $36,399 for the new machine. Council Member Robert “Bob” Klug said the budget included $20,000 identified for the trade, leaving $16,399 to come from the snow hauler budget line.
Member Klug moved to approve the front-end loader purchase proposal; Member Dave Fitzpatrick seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The council recorded no dissent and did not request additional bidding or delay.
The council's action authorizes the procurement and an internal budget transfer to cover the $16,399 shortfall; the meeting record indicates staff will execute the trade and purchase per the presented proposal.
