Council approves 2024/2025 vouchers and surpluses backhoe after market reassessment
Summary
Council approved payables for 2024 ($667,288.89) and 2025 ($162,587.88) and approved surplusing backhoe #7 after staff reported market interest suggested an opening bid between $25,000 and $30,000 rather than the earlier $70,000 expectation.
The council approved the finance committee recommendations to pay the listed vouchers and authorized surplus of an older backhoe after staff updated the council on market expectations.
Finance staff Cindy reported payables of $667,288.89 for 2024 and $162,587.88 for 2025. The finance committee moved to approve the vouchers and the council approved them by voice vote.
Separately, staff discussed surplusing backhoe unit #7. Todd said earlier optimism that the machine might fetch $70,000 had been tempered by market feedback suggesting an opening bid between $25,000 and $30,000. Council moved to surplus the backhoe and the resolution passed by voice vote.
Both the vouchers and the surplus decision were approved during the meeting; staff will proceed with payment and surplus processes.
