Council approved a $67,002.28 purchase for a crack‑sealing machine to allow the street division to perform preventative pavement maintenance and extend roadway lifespans. Mr. Hansen said one bid was received and sufficient funds were budgeted; staff recommended approval and the council voted unanimously to accept the bid.
