In addition to approving the semi truck, the council also approved two zero turn mowers and a utility cab tractor, all funded by the public works department’s beautification division budget, in the total amount of $92,299.32.

The scheduled presentation on the alcohol beverage ordinance had been postponed as the presenter was unable to attend.
