The Huachuca City Council approved additional repairs for the town's Caterpillar D6 dozer on Feb. 26, 2026, after Town Manager Suzanne Harvey reported the shop found both sides of the final drive needed replacement following disassembly. The additional repair cost was listed in the minutes as $30,235.63; Johann Wallace moved to approve the expenditure and Christy Hirshberg seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Manager Harvey explained the equipment is a critical piece for landfill and public works operations and noted the town had recently paid off the vehicle, creating urgency to complete the repairs to avoid downtime. "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 minutes record.
The minutes do not include procurement or vendor details for the repair or an account code; the action was recorded as an approval of the additional amount. Staff follow-up for contracting and budget posting is implied but not specified in the meeting record.
