Royal City Council approves $200,000 for Public Works equipment replacements
Summary
The council approved using $200,000 of City funds for replacement of a backhoe, a dump truck and other repairs at the discretion of the Public Works Director; the motion was moved by Councilmember Ryan Piercy and seconded by Councilmember Stanton Fanning.
At the April 15 meeting, Public Works Director Curt Carpenter told the council the department needs to replace an existing backhoe and a dump truck and to cover other equipment repairs. The council approved a motion to allocate $200,000 of city funds for those expenditures to be used at the discretion of the Public Works Director (motion by Councilmember Ryan Piercy; seconded by Councilmember Stanton Fanning). The minutes record that "the motion carried," with no roll-call tally listed.
Carpenter's presentation prompted brief discussion about equipment condition and priorities for the department. The funding authorization allows the Public Works Director to proceed with procurement and repairs without further immediate council action; procurement rules and timelines were not specified in the minutes.
