Council approves purchase of parks service truck for $58,153.46

Centerville — The Centerville City Council approved the immediate purchase of a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD regular cab service-body vehicle for use by the parks department. The council approved the purchase at the quoted price of $58,153.46.

Parks director Bruce Cox told council the purchase replaces a 2011 sprinkler truck that has reached the end of its service life. He said the vehicle is available under state contract and that the one on the lot was slightly over the department budget; the parks department plans to fund the overage by postponing replacement of a snowblower this year.

Formal action: The council motioned and approved the purchase; the motion carried on a recorded voice vote.

Next steps: The parks department will complete procurement under state contract, and the department will track deferred capital purchases as part of its equipment replacement schedule.
