City to buy upgraded aerial bucket truck at slightly higher cost
Summary
Council reviewed an ordinance to purchase a Freightliner M2106 with a Terex Optima aerial device (insulated aerial bucket truck) at $441,157—$1,150 more than last year's authorization—to support electric distribution and transformer work; the measure was moved forward with suspension and calling recommended.
Assistant Public Service Director Mike Testa described the ordinance repealing prior authorization and approving purchase of a Freightliner M2106 with a Terex Optima TCX55‑NOC aerial device through Sourcewell. Testa explained the vehicle is an insulated aerial bucket truck used for distribution line and transformer work and that the price increased to $441,157 for a newer 2027 model, $1,150 more than the previously authorized amount of $440,007.
Council Member Tom Stugmyer moved to suspend and call the ordinance to allow timely replacement and equipment upgrade; no formal adoption vote is recorded in these minutes but the Clerk assigned Ordinance No. 26-069 for consideration.
