Council authorizes up to $8,000 for commercial sprayer to support parks maintenance
Summary
Council approved a motion to spend up to $8,000 to buy a commercial sprayer from state surplus or a commercial vendor, with a decision to be made by March 1, 2026; the purchase is covered in the parks budget.
City Recorder Michelle Connor presented three vendor estimates for a commercial sprayer budgeted in the parks line and told the council the purchase would allow the city to perform its own park maintenance rather than contracting out. "Councilor Smith made a motion to spend up to $8,000 on a striping machine either from state surplus or a commercial entity decision to be made on or by 03/01/2026," the minutes record; Councilor Eric Page seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Councilors discussed searching state or federal surplus before purchasing new equipment. The council recorded the authorization as a budgeted capital purchase within parks and directed staff to return with procurement details if no suitable surplus unit is found by early spring.
