Council approves surplus auction, maintenance quotes and conditional invoice payment
Summary
Council authorized DPW to auction an unused Frontier grooming mower (starting bid $10,000), approved elevator alarm and stormwater pump repairs and truck repairs, and approved payment to Huron River Watershed Council conditioned on verifying invoice accuracy ($7,074.78 reported).
The Department of Public Works asked council to declare several pieces of equipment surplus and approve maintenance quotes.
DPW Director Sontz asked that a Frontier grooming mower no longer in use be placed on the municipal auction site with a starting bid of $10,000; staff said replacement cost would be roughly $10,000. Council approved the motion. Director Sontz also presented an invoice from the Huron River Watershed Council for $7,074.78 covering stormwater permit assistance; because two invoices with similar amounts appeared three months apart council moved to approve the payment conditioned on verification of accuracy.
Council approved a quote from MEI Total Elevator Solutions to install a new alarm bell for the elevator (cost $1,616.52), accepted completed repairs to pickup truck 65 with a bill of $3,889.51, and approved a $1,800 quote to repair the starter panel for a manual stormwater pump on Point Drive. Director Sontz described the mower as in working condition but unsuitable for current DPW uses; the auction motion and the maintenance quotes carried by vote.
