Summary

The council voted 5-0 to purchase a Ford TW25 tractor for $22,000 to address ditch mowing and drainage maintenance after reviewing options including contractor mowing and alternative equipment.

Superintendent Shawn Durbin presented three options to manage drainage-ditch mowing: buy an 8' sickle bar for $6,190, hire Myers Boom Mowing at $8,250 per mowing, or purchase a new tractor (quotes under $30,000). Durbin provided quotes for three tractors and recommended one he felt appropriate.

Commissioner Letizia moved to purchase a Ford TW25 for $22,000 'if everything worked on it'; Commissioner Edwards seconded the motion and the council approved the purchase 5-0. The minutes record the procurement decision but do not specify funding source or procurement details beyond the approved amount and model.
