Sun Valley council approves $14,239.60 snow blower for Street Department

The Sun Valley City Council approved the purchase of a new snow blower for the Street Department for $14,239.60. Street Department representative Slater Storey said the proposed machine would be a front-end-loader-style blower to back up the current unit. Council Member Michelle Griffith moved to approve the purchase; Council Member Brad DuFur seconded, and the motion passed with Council President Keith Saks joining the approval.

Mayor Peter Hendricks asked for a detailed accounting because initial figures appeared to show $9,000 for three months rather than the $3,000 the mayor had expected; the council asked staff to provide a detailed accounting after the purchase. The transcript does not include purchase invoices or vendor names.
