Council authorizes snowplow and front-end loader purchases for public works
Summary
Council approved waiving bidding requirements to purchase one Class 7 snowplow dump truck and a John Deere front-end wheel loader to support public works operations and new salt-barn distribution; both measures passed unanimously.
The city authorized two equipment purchases for the Public Works Division: a Class 7 snowplow dump truck (with reuse of some existing equipment) and a John Deere front-end wheel loader. Staff said the purchases will support operations at two new salt barns and that some equipment from the old snowplow will be reused on a new chassis.
Council voted to waive formal bidding requirements and adopt both resolutions by unanimous vote (7–0). Officials said the new loader will help distribute salt and facilitate operations on both sides of the city once the new Public Works building opens; staff indicated furniture deliveries and building readiness are expected in the coming weeks.
