Miner approves new public-works truck, plant upgrades and fire ventilation fan
Summary
The Miner Board approved the purchase of a 2024 Ford F-150 for Public Works, authorized advertising to sell a 2005 Ford F-150, accepted a concrete-work quote for Harrison St. and the Water Plant, approved a filter-control update at the water plant, and approved a ventilation fan purchase for the fire department ($3,895 plus shipping).
The Miner Board of Aldermen on Dec. 8 voted to approve several equipment and infrastructure purchases across public works and the fire department.
Chief Operator Mike Hise requested purchase approvals and contract awards for Public Works. The board approved buying a 2024 Ford F-150 for Public Works after a motion by Alderwoman Beth Keller and a second by Alderman Patrick Johnson; Mayor Frank Tatum said the purchase was "not what he wanted," but the motion passed on a roll-call vote with Bell, Holman, Johnson and Keller voting Aye. The board also approved advertising to accept sealed bids for the city’s 2005 Ford F-150 for 30 days.
The board accepted a quote from Indian Creek Contracting for concrete work on Harrison Street and at the Water Plant; Alderman Patrick Johnson moved to approve that contract and Alderman Brian Bell seconded. The board additionally approved a proposal to update the filter control panel at the water plant after a motion by Johnson and a second from Alderwoman Peggy Holman.
Fire Chief Justin Keller presented a quote from Hoffcomp to purchase a ventilation fan for the fire department priced at $3,895 plus shipping. Alderman Brian Bell moved to approve the purchase; Alderwoman Peggy Holman seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The meeting minutes do not list contract dollar amounts for the concrete or the filter control update, nor do they specify the funding source for the vehicle purchase; those details were not provided in the transcript.
