After ice storm, Lake Isabella council directs staff to rent wood chipper rather than buy
Summary
Village Manager Wolff described storm cleanup needs after an ice storm and the council directed staff to prioritize renting a wood chipper for one month once warmer weather arrives instead of purchasing a used unit.
Village Manager Wolff briefed the council on cleanup needs following a recent ice storm, explaining that tree limbs pushed into ditches had blocked areas and required chipping to reopen streets and clear drainage.
Council members discussed acquiring a wood chipper; they considered purchasing a used unit but directed staff that the preferred first option is to rent a chipper for one month when warmer weather permits. The minutes record this as a council direction to staff rather than a formal purchase motion.
The decision preserves the option to purchase a unit later but tasks staff with arranging a rental and scheduling cleanup work once conditions allow.
