Committee reviews equipment repair options, approves mower purchase and Land Pride repair
Summary
Members reviewed multiple equipment issues — Bomag reclaimer trade-in values ($30,000–$94,000) and an ongoing roller fault — approved a one-tire repair to Land Pride #538 and purchased a new pull-behind Land Pride mower after a roll-call unanimous vote.
County staff reported wide variation in trade-in values for a Bomag RS 500 reclaimer ($30,000–$94,000) and ongoing drive issues with a Bomag rubber-tire roller despite dealer work. Committee asked for further pricing and options on the reclaimer.
Mr. Ruff moved and Mr. Michaels seconded to replace one tire and rim on Land Pride #538 and to change gearbox rotation to prevent grass from being thrown onto the roadway; the motion carried. The committee also approved purchase of a new pull-behind Land Pride mower on a motion from Mr. Sendelbach, seconded by Mr. Weiss; a roll-call vote recorded Mr. Michaels, Mr. Ruff, Mr. Lindstrom, Mr. Weiss and Mr. Sendelbach as voting yes.
