Council approves $52,000 purchase of used telehandler for Public Works
Summary
Council authorized purchase of a used 2017 Genie GTH-636 telehandler from Herc Rentals for $51,500 plus $500 delivery ($52,000 total); staff reported just under 3,000 hours on the unit and a 15-year depreciation schedule.
Public Works Supervisor Nathan Lyon and Project Aide Krista Gannon presented a request to purchase a used Genie Model GTH-636 telehandler for $51,500 plus a $500 delivery fee, for a total of $52,000. The unit, located in Richland, Washington, was inspected by the department mechanic; staff reported the machine's hour meters total just under 3,000 hours after a meter replacement and proposed a future purchase of a two-person OSHA-approved basket for tree trimming valued at $1,100.
Councilor John Lyon moved to approve the purchase as budgeted in the FY26 capital plan; Councilor Destiny Jensen seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Staff said the telehandler will be used for irrigation pivot maintenance and handling recycling containers at the County Road recycling depot.
