Minong board approves purchase of Buffalo Turbine BT-CKB7 debris blower and authorizes up to $1,000 for spare brushes
Summary
The board approved buying the trailer-mounted Buffalo Turbine BT-CKB7 debris blower; the town authorized staff to spend up to $1,000 on spare brushes and noted new brushes cost about $1,700.
The Minong town board approved purchase of a trailer-mounted Buffalo Turbine BT-CKB7 debris blower on May 26 and authorized town staff to spend up to $1,000 on spare brushes.
Town staff member T Conaway recommended the BT-CKB7 after inspecting both shortlisted models and said the trailer model is available with a four-week lead time if ordered immediately. He told the board that new brushes cost about $1,700 and that the neighboring Town of Barnes had offered to sell used brushes but had not provided a price.
Supervisor Dean Patrick moved to buy the trailer version of the blower and to give T Conaway and/or Susan Conaway authority to spend up to $1,000 on spare brushes; Linda Featherly seconded the motion and the board approved it unanimously.
The board did not record additional contract details in the minutes; staff were authorized to complete the purchase and to pursue spare brushes within the approved limit.
