Council approves street‑department purchases and a $17,626 tractor repair
Summary
Council approved a 2025 Ford one‑ton dump truck for the street department for $122,555, used remaining capital funds for repairs including a $17,625.68 repair to a 2011 New Holland tractor, and approved two Bobcat attachments for $7,700 and $10,100.
City staff told the council the FY27 street capital budget included funds to replace rolling stock and that recent purchases left $41,465.66 available; staff recommended using the remainder for a $17,625.68 repair to a 2011 New Holland tractor and to purchase additional equipment. Keck recommended buying a 2025 Ford F‑550 one‑ton dump truck with plow and spreader from Apple Ford Lincoln for $122,555, to be paid from capital line 41‑5‑752‑8300.
Council approved the motions: the street‑truck purchase (motion by Alderman Hoynes, second Alderman Stevens) and the repair purchase (motion by Alderman Albertini, second Alderman Frank). Keck also recommended two Bobcat attachments — an 84‑inch rock bucket with grapple for $7,700 and an 84‑inch hydraulic angle broom for $10,100 — which the council approved. Keck said attachments will be used for alley work, storm cleanup and leaf management.
