Council reallocates $40,000 in 2025 budget to buy three electric salt spreaders
Summary
The Dellwood City Council voted to reallocate an unspent $40,000 2025 line item—originally for paving the skating-rink lot—to purchase three electric salt spreaders for winter maintenance; the motion passed unanimously by roll call.
The City Council of Dellwood voted to amend the 2025 budget to reassign an unspent $40,000 line item toward winter equipment, approving the purchase of three electric salt spreaders.
Mayor (speaker labeled "Mayor") said the funds came from a paving-lot line that was not spent this year and that the spreaders would replace aging metal spreaders that frequently break. "We will purchase these 3 items," the Mayor said. The Mayor added the city "may not use the entire $40,000" but asked that the money be earmarked for the equipment.
Administrator (speaker labeled "Administrator") moved the motion "to approve the budget amendments." The Clerk then conducted a roll-call vote; affirmative votes were recorded for Alderman Williams, Alderman Johnson, Alderman Wilkins, Alderman Ardis, Woman Carter and Alderman Hall. The motion passed.
The council clarified the change applies to the current 2025 budget, not 2026, and that the $40,000 had previously been earmarked for paving the lot in front of the skating rink. No mover or seconder beyond the Administrator's floor motion was specified in the record.
The outcome directs staff to proceed with purchasing the spreaders under the newly designated line; the council did not specify a vendor, exact model, or the expected leftover balance from the $40,000. Follow-up reporting was scheduled through routine procurement channels and budget monitoring.
The council moved on to other business after the vote.
