The City of Vernon is moving ahead with purchasing replacement recreation services equipment.
At its regular meeting Tuesday (Oct. 11), city council was presented with a proposal to grant early approval for the purchase of a pickup truck, an electric ice resurfacer, and two ride-on floor scrubbers.
The pickup is valued at $54,000, the ice resurfacer is $280,000, and the two floor scrubbers are $34,000. All in, the total cost of the replacement equipment is $368,000.
Administration was seeking early approval to proceed with the procurement of the vehicle and equipment. It was proposed that the purchases be fully funded by the city’s recreation vehicle and equipment reserve, which, as of October 3, had a projected year-end balance of $477,434.
