Council approves $9,500 in road patching, new cemetery mower and bills; other maintenance items cleared
Summary
Huntsville Council approved $9,500 for asphalt patching, authorized purchase of a new cemetery mower (up to $9,489.27 with trade credit) and approved routine bills; motions carried unanimously.
The Huntsville Town Council approved several maintenance items during its May 15 meeting, including $9,500 for asphalt patch repairs and authorization to purchase a replacement mower for cemetery maintenance.
Councilmember Bruce Ahlstrom presented the road-repair bid for asphalt patching at $9,500 and said the work would address several targeted areas; the motion to approve the funds passed 5–0. For cemetery equipment, the Council authorized up to $9,489.27 for a new mower—Wilkinson Supply offered a $2,000 trade-in credit—reflecting a recommendation from the maintenance supervisor. The Council also approved the April bills and adjourned.
Council members discussed the possibility of in-kind patching by the plow driver from a pavement company, but upheld the contractor bid for decisive patch work. All routine items were approved by voice vote or roll-call as reported in the minutes.
