Public works truck failing; superintendent presses for replacement and staffing
Summary
Superintendent Boyd reported a public-works truck is out of commission and recommended keeping a replacement stake-body truck in the 2026 plan; council also discussed the cost and feasibility of adding a part-time mechanic and administrative assistant.
Superintendent of Public Works Boyd told council a public-works truck body was rusted and the vehicle was out of commission, and he supported keeping a replacement truck in the 2026 plan as an operational spare.
Council discussed adding a part-time mechanic and a full-time administrative assistant but CFO Stollenwerk cautioned that contracts and fiscal limits make adding positions difficult this year; any additions would require offsetting cuts. The council agreed to include the public-works truck in the plan for 2026 while staffing additions remain unresolved pending funding.
