Council authorizes purchase of two John Deere mowers already budgeted
Summary
Council authorized the purchase (24‑046) of two budgeted John Deere mowers that exceeded the department spending limit; buying two units together secured a lower combined price, staff said.
Public Works Director Darryl Lundland (Speaker 11) told council the two John Deere mowers were included in the adopted budget but the price exceeded the department’s spending authorization, so council approval was required to complete the purchase. Lundland said buying two mowers together produced a better price and will keep crews operational when equipment is down for maintenance.
Council moved, seconded and approved item 24‑046 by voice vote. Lundland said the units are in the budget and the purchase is a planned capital expenditure to support parks and right‑of‑way maintenance.
