Public Works reports tree trimming, grading and water-system work; recommends sweeper rental
Summary
Public Works updated the council on tree-trimming, right-of-way maintenance, pothole repairs and water-system work (Well 6), and recommended renting a ride-on sweeper for about $2,000 rather than immediate capital purchase.
Public Works reported recent activity including right-of-way tree trimming, grading at the senior center and Olympia Street, pothole repairs and maintenance on components of the water system, including work related to Well 6. Staff said trimming efforts will continue into the new year and a ride-on street sweeper is scheduled to be rented starting Dec. 1 to address leaf and pine-needle complaints.
Council and staff discussed equipment strategy. Staff gave a rental cost of about $2,000 for 30 days for a ride-on sweeper and presented an estimated quote of roughly $14,000 to add a sweeper attachment for the city's Kubota tractor with hydraulics. Staff described the capital purchase as a long-term goal and recommended renting for the immediate need.
