AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff is recommending the City Council approve a fleet vehicle purchase.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the addition of a compact track loader for maintenance operations.
This machine would be used for various operations such as mulching, tree planting, earth work, ice rink sweeping,
loading trucks and trailers, and brush mowing. It would be the second skid loader in the Parks and Streets fleet and
would help reduce the strain caused by the current shared use between departments. As one of the most frequently
used pieces of equipment, having an additional skid loader would significantly improve operational efficiency.
Staff obtained state contract quoted pricing from Ziegler CAT in the amount of $83,507.85. This amount is within the
approved 2026 CIP budget of $85,000.
The Public Works Subcommittee reviewed this request at its January 21, 2026, meeting and recommends
consideration of approval by the City Council.
