Royston council clears $69,400 gas-department truck purchase

Royston City Council unanimously approved spending $69,400 for a service truck for the city’s natural-gas department, placing the utility equipment purchase before elected officials because it exceeded the city manager’s purchasing authority. Councilman Fields made the motion, Councilman Phillips seconded it, and the council approved the three-purchase package 5-0 during a meeting identified in the minutes only as occurring in 2025.
