Council approves $3,541 purchase of patio furniture after windstorm damage
Summary
Council approved ordering 20 stacking patio chairs and 5 patio tables from Uline for $3,541.26 to replace clubhouse furniture damaged in a windstorm; staff said insurance depreciation payout will be $3,008.35 after invoice submission.
The Alcester City Council approved a purchase of patio furniture to replace sets destroyed in last year's windstorm, voting to order 20 stacking chairs and five tables from Uline for a total of $3,541.26.
Staff presented options and recommended the Uline product as the best balance of cost and quality; the record shows negotiated per-item pricing reductions and delivery expected within days if ordered promptly. "They were able to take the tables down from 350 each to 315," a staff member said while explaining pricing negotiations.
A motion to order the furniture was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff also reported that after the city submits the paid invoice to the insurer, the depreciation payout will be $3,008.35. Patio heaters related to the clubhouse had already been delivered and were purchased for under $800 at a sale, the staff member said.
The council did not record a roll-call vote; the purchase was approved by consensus for the items and amount noted. Staff listed procurement timing and insurance steps on the record; no further budget amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes.
