Council told grader may need replacement; staff to get quotes for spraying rig
Summary
Public‑works staff reported a crack on the city grader that could require replacement at an estimated $150,000 and requested quotes for a replacement spraying rig (side‑by‑side or 4‑wheeler) to maintain parks, lagoons and streets.
Caleb Ironsyde told the council he located a crack on the city grader that may not be repairable and said the cheapest new grader he found was about $150,000. He also advised that the city's spraying rig is not running; he recommended buying a side‑by‑side or a 4‑wheeler with a larger tank to serve parks, lagoons and streets and was asked to provide quotes.
Council members did not approve a grader purchase at the July 1 meeting but asked staff to present repair options and price estimates. Adam Clark specifically requested Caleb provide quotes for side‑by‑sides and 4‑wheelers so the council can consider replacements in the 2026 budget discussions.
