Council weighs used $375,000 jet truck to clear sewers; asks for financing details
Summary
Mayor Courtney proposed buying a used jet truck for $375,000 (compared with $600,000 for new) to maintain sewer lines; the Council expressed interest but requested additional financing information before taking action.
Mayor Courtney outlined a possible purchase of a used jet truck previously leased by another municipality for $375,000, noting a comparable new unit would cost about $600,000. The truck would clear and pump water from sanitary and storm lines and help respond to major leaks.
Council members voiced interest but stopped short of a motion, requesting additional financing information before proceeding. No vote or procurement authorization occurred during the meeting.
The discussion leaves the purchase in an exploratory phase; staff were instructed to return with financing options before the Council considers a formal motion.
