Council considers purchasing used street sweeper for $30,000 with installment option
Summary
A vendor notified the city about a used street sweeper for sale at $30,000; the seller offered installment payments and said parts interchangeability with the city’s existing unit could be possible — council asked for more detail before acting.
Council discussed a potential purchase of a used street sweeper after a contractor alerted the city that one was available. The mayor said the vendor is offering the unit for a price of $30,000 with possible installment terms and told council the seller had worked with the city previously on chip‑seal work. "They're selling it for 30,000, and they are willing to do installments," the mayor said, and council members asked about the machine’s operational condition and whether parts could be interchanged with the city’s current sweeper.
Members discussed the possibility of retaining the existing unit for parts and noted the vendor had said the machine had been powered up after a fire (council asked for clarification on that point). Council requested more information on condition, warranty/repair history and financing terms before any purchase decision.
