Council moves purchase and surplus of two public-works vehicles to full council
Summary
Council discussed buying two new public-works trucks, reallocating operating funds to cover costs, and approved moving the purchase and surplus of older units to the full council; staff noted bidding and a supermajority requirement where applicable.
Public works staff presented a business case for purchasing two replacement trucks and declared the city's oldest unit surplus. Council discussed trade-in estimates, funding lines (O&M and utility accounts) and whether to offset purchase costs with auction or trade-ins.
The mayor said he supported the purchase and emphasized the departments provide business cases for major items: "I support this purchase," he said. Council moved the item to the full council agenda for final action and directed staff to prepare procurement materials and a resolution authorizing the budget amendment.
