Summary

A motion to buy a 2013 Ford F-150 for the Public Works Department failed on a 5–1 vote after council members raised concerns about the city fleet and proposed selling inoperable trucks instead.

Council debated a proposed purchase of a 2013 Ford F-150 Crew Cab XL 4WD (5.0L V8) intended for the Public Works Department. Members reviewed the condition of the city's fleet (six trucks, three currently inoperable) and discussed selling the nonfunctional vehicles and investing in repairs for the remaining fleet.

Council member Will Butler moved to approve the purchase; the motion failed, with only Council member Debbie Lockhart voting in favor and five members voting against. The council directed interest in selling non-functional trucks and using proceeds or reallocations to improve existing operational vehicles rather than adding the proposed purchase.
