Mayor DeVere called council attention to a Cat wheel loader loan for $29,550 listed in the 2026 Water Treatment Plant and Regional Water System maintenance/equipment upgrades. He said the Town and likely Suncadia do not have access to use the loader and that he plans to meet with the Cle Elum mayor to discuss whether the line item should remain or be revised.
The council did not change the budget at this meeting and did not vote on the item. The mayor’s note will be followed by a conversation with Cle Elum leadership to determine whether the expense is appropriate or should be reassigned or removed from the town's budget.
