Eunice council approves truck purchase, budget adjustments, variances and fee arrangement for benefit tournament
Summary
At its April 27 meeting the Eunice City Council approved a new 28-yard trash truck with a $336,234 budget adjustment, granted two variances for residential properties, accepted third‑quarter DFA reports and approved a $1-per-team fee arrangement for a June benefit golf tournament.
The Eunice City Council on April 27 approved a package of routine and capital items including a budget adjustment to purchase a new trash truck, two residential variances, third-quarter financial filings, and a narrow fee arrangement for a June benefit golf tournament.
Resolution No. 3547 authorized a FY2025–26 budget adjustment to fund a new 28-yard solid-waste truck. The resolution lists the total purchase cost as $336,234.00 and identifies the funding sources as $150,000 from the Eunice Community Foundation, $141,283 from a Capital Outlay Grant and $44,951 from the solid-waste fund. Council discussed warranty language and logistics; the resolution passed unanimously on roll call.
Council approved two variances allowing a second mobile home at 1009 Ave K (subdivision and separate water/sewer taps required) and an in-home daycare at 1608 15th St to permit state certification processes; both motions passed unanimously. The council also approved the consent agenda and minutes from its April 13 meeting.
On a separate motion the council approved Resolution No. 3546 to permit a benefit golf tournament at Coyote Crossing Golf Course on June 20, 2026, with an addendum that the city will charge $1 per team (rather than waive fees outright) to address concerns about donations and procurement rules; the motion passed by unanimous roll call.
Council also adopted the third-quarter Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) reports and a related budget adjustment (Resolutions No. 3543 and No. 3544). City staff reported that all transfers were within prior council approvals and complied with state reporting rules.
Roll call tallies in the meeting record show unanimous approval for the trash-truck purchase, both variances, the DFA reports and the fee arrangement. A separate staff comment earlier in the meeting referenced a dealer quote of $326,000 for a ready-to-pickup truck; the budget resolution lists $336,234.00, and council approved the budget adjustment as presented.
