Selectmen table parks mower surplus until warranty information is provided
Summary
The board postponed a decision to surplus a Toro Groundmaster mower and asked staff to provide warranty and replacement details before resuming the item.
The Board of Selectmen voted to table a motion to surplus a 2016 Toro Groundmaster mower (asset 101451) until staff can provide warranty information for the replacement unit.
Background: The agenda listed a recommendation from purchasing agent Shay Davie to surplus the Toro mower, which a staff member said had been replaced in January by a Ventrac unit. A board member asked whether the replacement was covered under warranty; when staff said they did not have the warranty detail immediately, the member moved to table the item until that information is provided.
What was said: "This one was already replaced. The new Ventrac mower was delivered back in January of this year," the purchasing agent said. In response, a committee member moved to table the surplus until staff could confirm warranty coverage.
Why it matters: Members said the warranty status could affect budget planning and whether the town should keep the old mower in service longer. The board asked that staff provide the warranty information and that fleet information be included in future quarterly updates.
Next steps: The item was tabled; staff committed to provide the replacement warranty information for the next meeting.
