Council approves Bobcat and zero-turn mowers, agrees to mow VFW lot pending insurance review
Summary
Council approved public-works equipment purchases (Bobcat and two Toro zero-turn mowers) that came in under budget and approved a VFW mowing arrangement contingent on insurance/attorney sign-off.
Public Works asked for and received council approval for a planned Bobcat trade/purchase and for two Toro zero-turn mowers, both of which staff said came in under the CIP budget. The Bobcat motion was moved and passed unanimously; the zero-turn purchase was approved for $30,005.60 net after a $14,000 trade-in was noted in the staff packet.
Public Works also requested guidance about mowing a private VFW lot; staff said the lot is private but that crews are already in the area for other work and could perform mowing and weed-whipping if the city’s insurance and legal counsel clear it. Council approved the mowing contingent on insurance and attorney approval.
