Council approves $30,235.63 in additional repairs for Town's Caterpillar D6 dozer
Summary
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey said both sides of the D6 final drive required replacement after inspection; Council approved an additional $30,235.63 in repairs, noting the dozer is critical equipment and has just been paid off.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the Council that while one side of the Caterpillar D6 final drive had previously been authorized for repair, technicians found both sides needed replacement after disassembly. "When they got it up there and took it apart, both sides need to be replaced so it is an additional $30,000, that is our D6. It's a critical piece of equipment. We also just paid it off, so we need to do the repair," Manager Harvey said.
Council approved the additional repairs for $30,235.63 on a motion by Johann Wallace, seconded by Christy Hirshberg; the minutes record the motion passed unanimously. Council discussed the importance of the dozer to operations and the recent payoff status as justification for proceeding with the repairs.
The minutes do not specify whether the cost will be drawn from an equipment reserve, the general fund, or a capital budget line; staff will provide funding source detail in follow‑up documents.
