Ozawkie to buy new salt spreader for $9,880.50; council considers selling older equipment
Summary
Council approved purchase of a new salt spreader at a cost of $9,880.50, recommended selling the current spreader, a red truck and the snow pusher, and discussed exploring replacement of the dump truck. The mayor will contact Oskaloosa for interim assistance.
The council approved the purchase of a new salt spreader at a quoted cost of $9,880.50 after determining the current spreader was broken and not repairable. Councilmember Kevin Klenklen suggested selling the existing spreader, a red truck and the snow pusher to offset costs and encouraged consideration of a dump-truck replacement to better meet the city’s needs. Mayor Loren Lutes will contact the nearby city of Oskaloosa to request interim assistance with spreading sand while a replacement is obtained. Chris Feuerborn moved to approve the purchase; Kevin Klenklen seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The minutes do not include vendor details, warranty information, or a procurement quote beyond the single price cited; the council did not record an estimated timeline for sale of old equipment or replacement of the dump truck.
