Council reviews truck quotes after repeated F-550 failures
Summary
Council members reviewed replacement options for an F-550 vehicle that has been in the shop repeatedly; staff collected state-surplus and dealer quotes and noted budget availability through the end of June to purchase a replacement this fiscal year.
Council discussed the municipal F-550 work truck's repeated breakdowns and recent brake-related fire and considered replacement options. Staff presented two state-surplus quotes and additional dealer quotes; council members noted work-truck utility outfitting costs and discussed whether a surplus vehicle (potentially free or reduced cost) would meet operational needs.
Members also discussed budget timing: staff said funds are available through the end of June and would need to be re-budgeted next fiscal year if not spent. Council asked staff to examine state-surplus availability first and to confirm outfitting costs before bringing a final recommendation back to council.
