Summary

The board authorized purchase of two mowers, two blowers and two trimmers from Hartman Turf & Tractor to replace stolen equipment; the motion passed 5–0 with one trustee absent.

Public Works Director John Tolan reported stolen equipment and provided quotes for replacements. Trustee Ramon Matchett Jr. moved to purchase two mowers, two blowers and two trimmers from Hartman Turf & Tractor; Trustee James (Mike) Blaies seconded and the motion carried on a 5–0 roll call with one trustee absent.

Tolan said the village re-keyed a truck after the theft because the key was left with the vehicle; the minutes do not list the stolen-equipment dollar totals or specify whether insurance would cover replacement. The purchase was approved under the Streets/Public Property committee report and will be processed administratively through purchasing and accounts payable.
