The story
Ahead of the vote, a council packet listed quoted prices for tractor forks, including a 48-inch, 3,000-pound model priced at $1,530, with other options ranging from $1,372 to $2,227.
The Town Council approved spending up to $2,000 in public safety funds on the forks, meant to help handle ice melt bags. Councilperson Weatherly made the motion, leaving the final purchase decision to Mayor Early, and it passed unanimously.
