Wilson Creek council authorizes up to $25,000 for boom lift, agrees to surplus platform lift
Summary
Council authorized Mayor Herron to purchase a boom lift up to $25,000 and approved surplusing the town's platform lift; members discussed certification and inspection costs associated with ownership.
Councilmember Shirley Billings presented preliminary information about boom and man lifts for sale and the council voted to authorize Mayor Rob Herron to purchase a boom lift for up to $25,000. The motion passed after a second; the transcript records "Motion made by S. Billings, seconded by K. Ribail, and carried to authorize Mayor Herron to purchase a boom lift up to $25,000.00." The council also approved surplusing the existing platform lift in a separate motion.
Members discussed certification and inspection costs tied to owning a boom lift but did not adopt a detailed certification plan at the Jan. 14 meeting. The council's actions authorize procurement and disposal but leave unresolved follow-up about inspection schedules, training, and recurring certification costs that staff should clarify before the purchase is finalized.
