The council also approved the purchase of a man-lift for its “super single” multi-purpose truck.
The city accepted a $66,120 bid from The Fab Shop for the fabricated extension.
Public Works Director Mark Dorsey said $70,000 was budgeted for the item within the approved 2014 Street Capital Outlay Fund.
“The multi-purpose truck hook-lift loader system allows for additional functions and added components consistent with the truck’s original body fabrication,” Dorsey reported.
The truck was purchased in 2012.
