Wadsworth council adopts ordinance to buy Caterpillar wheel loader via Sourcewell contract
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance No. 26-029 to authorize the Public Service Director to purchase a Caterpillar model 926 14A wheel loader from Ohio CAT through a Sourcewell contract; Council suspended the three-reading rule and adopted the ordinance by unanimous roll call on Feb. 3, 2026.
Wadsworth City Council on Feb. 3 adopted Ordinance No. 26-029, authorizing the director of public service to purchase a new Caterpillar model 926 14A wheel loader from Ohio CAT through participation in a Sourcewell contract. Council Member Zach Berger sponsored the ordinance and moved to suspend the three-reading rule; Council Member Tom Stugmyer seconded the motion and the suspension and adoption were approved by unanimous roll call.
The ordinance was read for the first time and immediately advanced under the emergency provision after the suspension vote. The purchase is authorized through a cooperative Sourcewell contract rather than a standalone city procurement; the ordinance text as read specifies the vendor (Ohio CAT) and the equipment model. The ordinance was declared adopted on Feb. 3, 2026.
