Council reallocates $70,000 from dispatch account to parks and recreation capital purchases
Summary
The council approved moving $70,000 budgeted for Brodhead dispatch to parks and recreation for a truck, trailer and playground equipment, with an amendment requiring Director Wiegel take purchase options to his committee for approval.
The Brodhead Common Council on July 15 approved a budget amendment moving $70,000 from the Brodhead dispatch account (11‑52‑5213‑111) to the parks and recreation capital plan to purchase a new truck, trailer and play equipment.
Alderperson Sauer proposed the transfer and said the parks and recreation director would manage purchases. Councilmember Gritzmaker proposed an amendment that Director Wiegel present purchase choices to his committee for review; the amendment was accepted. Treasurer Miller said a formal budget amendment will be published in the paper.
Council discussion noted some park items were beyond repair and that public works staff might be able to refurbish others; Vogel and Miller provided procedural clarifications. The motion passed unanimously among present members. The council did not specify exact purchase vendors or costs beyond the $70,000 allocation; sales or disposal of replaced equipment was discussed as a possible way to recoup funds but no specific plan was adopted.
