Board reviews consent-agenda purchases including trucks, lighting and CRC remodel work order
Summary
At the agenda meeting, staff presented several consent-agenda items: financial statements acknowledgment, purchases of a knuckle-boom truck ($228,915.46) and a roll-off truck ($266,155.24), a $69,000 CDBG street-lighting award to Gosley Construction, and a work order for Community Resource Center phase 2 remodel with contingency due to limited drawings.
City staff presented multiple routine consent-agenda items for board review ahead of the March 18 formal meeting.
Finance director Karen Scott asked the board to acknowledge receipt of the January 2026 financial statements as part of routine reporting. (Karen Scott)
Solid waste director Samantha Jones requested approval to purchase one knuckle boom ("caps") truck from River City Hydraulics under the Sourcewell cooperative for $228,915.46 to replace the city's oldest unit, and separately to purchase a roll-off truck from the same vendor for $266,155.24 to add fleet capacity. Jones said the roll-off purchase is below the 2026 budgeted amount and will provide a spare truck for maintenance contingencies. (Samantha Jones)
Assistant city engineer Mike Hill recommended awarding a $69,000 Community Development Block Grant-funded contract to Gosley Construction for street-lighting infrastructure work on Park Avenue, Church Street and Creek Street; Hill provided a project funding breakdown and said no protests had been received and the protest period closes March 16.

Deputy city manager Denny McPhate described work order 26-01 with Hill and Cox Corporation for phase 2 of the Community Resource Center remodel (expanded restrooms, showers and laundry). McPhate said the base construction cost to Hill and Cox is shown in the packet and staff added a contingency because construction drawings are incomplete and plumbing tie-ins are uncertain.
No final votes were recorded during the agenda meeting; staff asked that these items remain on the March 18 consent agenda for formal consideration.
