Council approves mower purchase and heating-system replacement for borough building
Summary
Council approved buying a Kubota lawn mower (budgeted at $19,342.72) to bring mowing in-house and authorized replacing the borough building heating system with Anchor Air Systems LLC at $22,977.00 after on-site troubleshooting identified a failed component.
Montoursville Borough Council approved two facility and equipment purchases at the Feb. 2 meeting. The council approved purchasing a Kubota lawn mower at the budgeted price of $19,342.72 so crews can perform borough mowing in-house; Borough Manager Donna Taggart and Council Member Donald Konkle said expected labor and lifecycle savings justify the purchase.
Council also approved contracting Anchor Air Systems LLC to replace the borough building heating system for $22,977.00 after Taggart said Anchor Air quickly diagnosed a failed motherboard and restored heat in the borough building and police areas. Taggart said the purchase will be funded from transfers into the Capital Fund rather than the operating budget.
