River Heights council approves truck and mower purchases totaling about $67,496
Summary
Council approved a state-contract purchase of a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado for $54,457 and a stand‑on mower for $13,039; the mower amount in the purchase order materials differed and is noted as a transcript discrepancy.
The River Heights City Council approved two equipment purchases at its July 7 meeting: a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado priced at $54,457 and a stand‑on mower for $13,039.
Public Works Director Clayten Nelson explained the truck purchase was budgeted and sourced via a state contract; Councilmember Lance Pitcher moved to approve the truck purchase for $54,457 and Councilmember Kandi Evans seconded. The motion passed with councilmembers in favor. Nelson said the city intends to sell the replaced unit when the new truck is put into service.
On the mower, Nelson explained the stand‑on mower would allow staff to mow the reservoir and other rough or weedy areas; keeping the older mower for lighter tasks would provide two functioning machines. Councilmember Pitcher moved to approve the mower purchase for $13,039; the motion passed with all present in favor. Note: the meeting minutes record the approved motion amount as $13,039, while the attached purchase‑order materials later in the packet list a total of $13,939; that discrepancy is recorded here for clarity and follow-up with city staff.
