Committee approves purchase of 2024 Case 115 but pauses mower use pending blade-direction check
Summary
Members approved buying a 2024 Case 115 mower tractor for $118,000 plus $1,000 for turf tires, then voted to hold off on mower deployment until staff verifies blade direction to prevent throwing grass onto roads.
The committee voted to purchase a 2024 Case 115 mower tractor from Johnson Tractor for $118,000, with an additional $1,000 for turf tires. Mr. Weiss made the motion to purchase and Mr. Ruff seconded; a roll-call vote recorded Mr. Sendelbach, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Lindstrom, Mr. Ruff and Mr. Michaels as voting yes.
After approving the purchase, Mr. Ruff moved — and Mr. Michaels seconded — a separate motion to hold off on mower operation until staff can verify blade direction so the machine does not throw grass onto the road. That safety-focused motion also carried. The committee recorded both the purchase authorization and the safety hold as distinct actions.
