The second purchase approval was for two Ventrac tractors to be used by the grounds maintenance division of public works in the amount of $62,708.

The last three purchase approvals were for the replacement of multiple vehicles. The first is a 2010 Ford F-250. It will be replaced by a 2026 F-350 for $80,995, paid to Laurel Motors Inc. The second vehicle to be replaced is a 2011 International Terrastar commercial work truck. It will be replaced by a 2026 Ford F-600 with a Fit-Out Package totaling $152,581.
