TURTLE LAKE, N.D. — The City Commission voted Feb. 9 to accept a John Deere bid for payloader accessories after a 2–2 split among commissioners that required a mayoral tiebreaker.
Commissioner Stacie Adams moved to accept the John Deere bid for pallet forks and a man basket; Commissioner Tim Britton seconded. Commissioner Rick Schwalk said he preferred separating the items and purchasing only the pallet forks; Commissioner Matt Lang also voted no. The vote was tied, and Mayor Dianne Zenker cast the deciding yes vote. The motion carried.
The transcript does not record bid prices. Commissioners discussed procurement options and whether to split items before the tie occurred.
Next step: City staff to coordinate purchase and arrange delivery and installation of the approved attachments.
