Goose Creek approves $21,900 purchase for recreation department paint-bot
Summary
The council approved spending $21,900 from the city recreation fund to buy a paint-bot for striping and similar work; Recreation Director Crystal Ziegler said the equipment reduces labor by allowing one operator and a computer to manage line striping.
The council approved a request to spend $21,900 from the recreation fund balance to buy a paint-bot for the recreation department.
Crystal Ziegler, the recreation director, told the council the device "saves on labor; takes one person and a computer instead of a whole bunch of other people," describing the purchase as an efficiency move. Councilman Tikak moved to approve the purchase and Councilwoman McSwain seconded; the motion carried on voice vote.
Council members said the purchase is expected to reduce the staff time and labor costs associated with field and road striping for city events and maintenance. The funds will come from the existing recreation fund balance, and staff will report back on installation and operational readiness once the equipment arrives.
