Pierre approves $51,700 purchase of two street message boards
Summary
The commission approved spending $51,700 to buy two pull‑type street message boards from Northern Truck Equipment Corporation, using available budget to accelerate a previously planned 2027 purchase.
Nick Hericks, Street Department Superintendent, asked the commission to approve purchasing two smaller, pull‑type message boards to replace and supplement the city's current older unit. Hericks said the current board was purchased used about 20 years ago and that, because the excavator quote came in below budget, the department could use available funds to buy the second message board in 2026 instead of waiting until 2027. The quote from Northern Truck Equipment Corporation totals $51,700 for two units.
Commissioner Johnson moved to approve the purchase and Commissioner Reitzel seconded; the commission voted unanimously to authorize the purchase and to have the mayor sign related documents. The minutes record no dissent or conditions on the approval.
