Why This Vote Matters

The city will spend $12,329.67 on a new tire changing machine for its vehicle fleet after council members approved the purchase with broad support in a 7-1 vote. The equipment will allow city mechanics to change truck tires in-house instead of paying outside vendors, which should save money over time. Council member Gayle McLaughlin was the sole dissenter on this routine maintenance purchase. The new machine replaces outdated or broken tire changing equipment currently used to service the city's trucks, police cars, and other vehicles.
