Council discusses replacing city truck, leasing skid steer and operator licensing
Summary
Council members debated whether to replace a city truck, considered leasing a skid steer and questioned whether operators would need a commercial driver—s license for a 'twinster' configuration; Chair Paul Dean said he would research licensing requirements.
Council members reported that Hoyts has not yet returned with parts to repair the city truck and discussed options including replacement or leasing a skid steer. Tony Fankhauser suggested exploring state contract pricing and leasing options; Councilmember Evan Casey asked whether a 'twinster' configuration would require a commercial driver—s license (CDL). Chair Paul Dean said he would investigate licensing requirements.
No formal purchase or lease was approved at the meeting; council members asked staff and the chair to gather additional information about costs, operator licensing and whether the available equipment would meet the city's needs.
