City approves $17,744 mower purchase and authorizes tractor acquisition for parks
Summary
Uintah City approved purchase of a Ferris lawn mower for $17,744.18 and authorized buying a tractor for park maintenance; staff said surplus-auction proceeds will fund purchases and favored the Ferris model for comfort and speed.
Public Works Director Jack Burton presented options to replace park mowing equipment and said surplus‑auction proceeds would be used to fund the purchase. Staff compared two mower brands (Ferris and Walker), recommended the smaller Ferris model for comfort and speed, and noted both models include bagging for fall leaf collection.
Council Member Combe moved to approve the mower purchase in the amount of $17,744.18; Council Member Patterson seconded and the motion carried. Council later approved a separate motion to purchase a tractor to support mowing operations, with councilors noting $18,490 in remaining surplus funds could be applied toward a used tractor purchase.
