Equipment Purchases

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone City Council has approved moving ahead with the purchase of equipment for the city's Public Works Department. Public Works and Parks Director John Rouse told the Council Monday that bids were received for a mini-road maintainer that will be used for alley work, for a new street sweeper and for a new truck. In addition, the department also purchased a new full size road maintainer. The purchases will be funded through a bond sale. There is the possibility that the City may borrow from Public Works reserves to cover the purchase in the interim.
