Council approves $30,235.63 repair to town Caterpillar D6 dozer
Summary
Council approved an additional $30,235.63 to replace both sides of the Caterpillar D6 final drive after staff discovered both sides required replacement; Manager Suzanne Harvey described the dozer as a critical piece of equipment.
The Huachuca City Council approved additional repairs totaling $30,235.63 to the town’s Caterpillar D6 dozer after staff reported that both sides of the final drive required replacement.
Manager Suzanne Harvey said that when the machine was disassembled it became clear both sides needed work: "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." The council moved and approved the additional repair funding; the motion was made by Johann Wallace and seconded by Christy Hirshberg, and it passed unanimously.
Council discussion noted the dozer’s operational importance for public works and landfill tasks. The meeting record does not list a separate capital replacement plan; the approved repair will allow continued use of the recently paid-off asset.
