Osage City approves three municipal vehicles; Parks purchase capped at $50,000
Summary
The council approved purchase of three municipal vehicles (Parks & Recreation, Street, Water) from Branine Chevy; Parks vehicle purchase capped at $50,000 per the motion. Motions carried 6-0.
Utilities Director Dale Schwieger and department superintendents presented bundled bids for vehicle purchases and said combining the three requests reduced overall cost estimates. The council authorized purchase of a Parks & Recreation vehicle from Branine Chevy not to exceed $50,000 (motion by Jeanette Swarts, second by Mike Handly), approved a Street Department vehicle from Branine Chevy (motion by Swarts, second by Jeff Tice), and approved a Water Department vehicle from Branine Chevy (motion by Swarts, second by Kathy Ayers). All votes were recorded as carried, 6-0.
The minutes note that bundling the bids reduced estimates; no further financing details or trade-in information were recorded. Department superintendents on the record were Fred Hallowell (Street & Sanitation) and Gary Thompson (Property & Parks).
