Long-awaited tractor purchase on Alexander agenda

(Update; correction made to second paragraph.)

The Alexander City Council may finally be deciding on a replacement for the street department’s tractor, which hasn’t worked since 2015. Three bids have been received and are on the agenda for the city’s monthly meeting set for this coming Monday. After it stopped working the old tractor, which is used for mowing tall grass and weeds, was eventually deemed too expensive to repair considering its age.

Also listed on the March 20 agenda is a report of the recently released the annual audit of the years 2014 and 2015 2016 budgets and accounting practices, “street department purchase” and “truck.” The meeting will be held at 6 PM in the courtroom in the City Municipal Complex. The public is invited to attend.
