Council hears second reading for road-salt purchase; cost figure in transcript appears garbled
Summary
The council held the second reading of ordinance 32-2026 to authorize purchase of 3,920 tons of road salt; the transcript lists an ostensibly garbled not-to-exceed figure that is not otherwise confirmed in the record.
During the meeting the council heard the second reading of ordinance 32-2026, which the clerk read as authorizing the purchase of 3,920 tons of road salt (sodium chloride) through the joint municipal improvement consortium for the 2026-27 winter season.
The ordinance text read in the meeting included an authorization described in the transcript as "not to exceed $279,800,888," a figure that appears inconsistent with typical municipal salt procurement and which may be a transcription error. The transcript provides no further discussion, amendment or vote on the ordinance during this meeting; it remains at second reading as shown in the record.
Because the transcript appears to contain a garbled amount, reporters and staff should consult the official ordinance text and procurement documentation for the confirmed not-to-exceed amount and contract details before publishing figures.
