Borough Manager Jess Novinger told council she and Public Works Director Sam Shaffer had negotiated with CAT at Cleveland Brothers to purchase a backhoe using funds awarded through a Local Share Grant. Novinger asked council to allow her to sign a quote not to exceed $164,998; the grant award was $165,000. On motion of Mr. Moralez, seconded by Mr. Dale Pfeil, council approved the request.
Sam Shaffer described the equipment warranty, saying, "The warranty is 5 years — powertrain; 2 years — parts; no labor is covered." The purchase was presented as a capital equipment spend covered by the specific grant award and the motion was carried without a roll-call vote recorded in the minutes.
