Public Works and Parks Operations Director Travis Schwetz briefed Council on the proposed replacement of two Parks Department ½-ton 4x4 pickup trucks. He reviewed several acquisition options, including used vehicles, electric models and the state-contract list, and recommended purchasing two new trucks at a cost not to exceed $90,000. The Council did not take immediate action; staff said the purchase request will be placed on the next meeting’s Consent Agenda for formal approval.
The figure presented ($90,000) was given as a not-to-exceed total for both vehicles combined. Specific vehicle specifications, trade-in allowances and funding sources were not detailed in the transcript and will need to be provided with the Consent Agenda materials at the next meeting.
