Trustees decline immediate brush-hog purchase; agree to save for mower replacement
Summary
The board decided against buying a 72" brush-hog priced at $3,300 and discussed watching state auctions; trustees agreed to budget half the cost of a replacement lawn mower this year and half next year.
The board reviewed equipment needs and declined an immediate purchase of a 72" brush-hog listed by Joyners for $3,300. "Does not feel it's a necessary purchase as we do minimal brush hogging currently," the minutes state regarding the brush-hog.
Trustees discussed the lawn mower, with Trustee Brandon Walizer suggesting monitoring state auctions and Mayor Jon LaLone proposing a two-year budgeting approach to split replacement funds across two fiscal years. The board agreed to begin setting aside money to ensure funds will be available when replacement becomes necessary.
