Laurium council approves sale of 1974 SnoGo and authorizes up to $65,000 for second loader
Summary
Council authorized advertising a 1974 Oshkosh SnoGo for sale and approved spending up to $60,000 (plus up to $5,000 for delivery/parts) to purchase a second loader; council also discussed salvaging parts from older equipment and amending the PIF budget.
The Village of Laurium authorized staff to advertise a 1974 Oshkosh SnoGo for sale at $1,000 or best offer and approved purchasing a second loader with a spending cap of $60,000 plus up to $5,000 for delivery and parts.
Council discussed salvaging usable parts from an old street sweeper, the garbage truck and a Zamboni; remaining equipment will be scrapped. An auction company, Three Lakes, may accept one item and place a credit on the village account. The council noted that the PIF budget will need to be amended to reflect the loader purchase.
Motion details: Erickson moved and Galbraith seconded the SnoGo advertisement and the loader purchase motions; both motions carried 4-0.
What’s next: Staff will advertise the SnoGo for sale, finalize loader procurement, update the PIF budget and clean storm drains as recommended.
