LDFA-backed equipment purchases and pole barn approved totaling about $303,901
Summary
Council approved several LDFA recommendations including a $180,219.31 Caterpillar 275XE, a 40'x40' pole barn (contractors estimated $81,395), and a Polaris Ranger for $38,136.93; motions carried unanimously.
The Local Development Finance Authority's recommendations were approved by council July 20, including a Caterpillar Model 275XE compact track loader with optional equipment for $180,219.31 from MacAllister CAT; construction of a 40'x40' pole barn storage shed (Orchard Construction $77,545.00; Endeavor Electric $3,850.00) for up to $85,000; and purchase of a 2026 Polaris Ranger side-by-side with plow for $38,136.93 from Ball Equipment. Council approved each recommendation by motion with unanimous votes.
The approvals authorize LDFA capital acquisitions and a storage facility for equipment. The minutes do not include financing breakdowns or long-term maintenance commitments; the work-study item later scheduled on the agenda addresses financing options for broader facility needs but does not specify LDFA funding sources for these purchases in the public record.
