Board approves mower trade-in to replace aging unit
Summary
The board agreed to trade in an older mower for a 2019 Hustler model rather than repair the existing unit. Members concluded the trade-in price and lower outlay made replacement the more economical choice.
The Ste. Genevieve City Board reviewed repair versus replacement options for a municipal mower and approved a trade-in to acquire a 2019 Hustler side-discharge mower.
Staff presented repair estimates (roughly $2,300 in-house) and a trade-in proposal that would add approximately $1,500 cash to acquire the replacement unit. Members recommended the trade-in as it reduced near-term cost, preserved cash flow and reduced risk associated with continued in‑house repairs.
The motion to trade in the existing mower and accept the replacement was made and seconded; the board approved the transaction and authorized staff to proceed.
