(KAIR)--The new year will mean new equipment for the City of Atchison, as approved during the Commission's meeting of December 16.

Atchison Director of Public Works, Clinton McNemee, outlined the proposed purchases for the City leaders.

Discussion that followed led to a minor adjustment of the proposed purchase, meaning a slight savings of around $6,000, until other options for the proposed skid steer sweeper attachment are evaluated by City Staff.

Once discussion concluded, and the amended purchase agreed upon, the Commission gave unanimous approval to the purchase, with all of the equipment previously included in the City's 2025 Equipment Replacement Plan, or ERP.

The total price tag approved was $537,515 about $15 above the original estimate.

Equipment replaced through the purchase will be sold through auction.
