Crested Butte council approves electric street sweeper purchase and backs compost funding scenario
Summary
Council unanimously approved purchasing an electric street sweeper and supported using sanitation revenues (Scenario Two) to fund compost and town cleanup programs; both motions passed by roll call vote.
The Crested Butte Town Council voted unanimously on Oct. 6 to approve two operations and sustainability actions: the purchase of an electric (EV) street sweeper and supporting "Scenario Two" to leverage sanitation revenues for compost and town cleanup programs.
Public Works Director Shea Earley introduced the proposal to convert the town’s street sweeper to an electric vehicle. Councilmember Anna Fenerty moved the purchase; Councilmember Gabi Prochaska seconded. A roll call vote was taken and all members present voted "Yes." The motion passed unanimously.
Sustainability Coordinator Dannah Leeman presented options for using sanitation funds to support compost and town cleanup. Councilmember Beth Goldstone moved to support Scenario Two; Councilmember Prochaska seconded. The council again voted unanimously to support Scenario Two.
Both decisions direct staff to begin implementation steps. The council did not specify detailed funding line items in the meeting record; staff will incorporate the approved direction into upcoming budget materials and implementation plans.
