McClusky council approves purchase of backup generator batteries after maintenance report
Summary
Council authorized purchase of batteries for the lift-station backup generator after maintenance staff reported the batteries were completely dead; tires for the skid-steer will be price-checked later this year.
Maintenance staff reported that the lift-station backup generator would not start because the batteries were dead and recommended replacing them immediately. The staff member said the batteries likely froze and were beyond reuse, and estimated the replacement cost would be “probably over 300.”
A council member moved to authorize purchase of batteries for the backup generator; another council member seconded the motion and the council approved it by voice vote. Council and staff also discussed the skid-steer tires, which staff said are worn and will need replacement this summer; staff will obtain price checks and bring tire options back to the council.
Council recorded the decision as an authorization for staff to proceed with replacing the generator batteries and to pursue estimates for tires and other equipment as necessary. The council did not specify a vendor at the meeting and directed staff to report prices and return with quotes for formal purchase authorization.
