Fenton aldermen approve purchase of 2026 Can-Am UTV with plow kit
Summary
The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved Ordinance No. 4645 on April 23, 2026, authorizing the Public Works Director to buy a 2026 Can-Am UTV with plow kit from Midwest Sports Center - Festus after staff reported limited vendor stock and close dealer proximity for warranty service.
The City of Fenton Board of Aldermen unanimously approved an ordinance authorizing the purchase of a 2026 Can-Am UTV with a plow kit on April 23, 2026.
Mayor Joe Maurath called the special meeting to order at 8:01 p.m. and the minutes record that staff requested the meeting because the vendor had only one white model left in stock and the city prefers white vehicles to match other fleet units. City Clerk Jane Hungler recorded seven aldermen present and one absent.
The record lists three bids for the UTV: STL Powersports at $40,302; Ocho Powersports Perryville at $38,523.55; and Midwest Sports Center - Festus at $38,714.09. Staff recommended purchasing from Midwest Sports Center - Festus, noting it was $190.54 more than the lowest bid but is closer to Fenton for dealer warranty repairs; extended warranty work must be completed by the dealer.
Alderman Bereitschaft sponsored Bill No. 26-35, which would authorize the Public Works Director to complete the purchase. City Attorney Erin Seele read the bill by title. Alderman Bereitschaft moved to waive the rules to allow a second reading the same night; Alderman Wisbrock seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The bill was then read a second time by title.
Bereitschaft moved that Bill No. 26-35 be enacted as Ordinance No. 4645; Alderwoman Huels seconded. The Board voted by roll call: Bereitschaft, Aye; Rogers, Aye; Lange, Absent; Huels, Aye; Wisbrock, Aye; Maserang, Aye; Harrell, Aye; Jokerst, Aye. It was announced that Bill No. 26-35 passed and would become Ordinance No. 4645 when and if signed by the Mayor.
The minutes state that no executive session was held. At 8:04 p.m. Alderwoman Huels moved to adjourn; Alderman Rogers seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The minutes do not specify funding sources, allocation line items, or the expected delivery date for the vehicle; those details were not provided in the meeting record.
