The city council approved the use of remaining American Rescue Plan Act funds to spend $197,000 on a wheeled excavator for the public works department. This spending utilized savings from a roughly $6 million citywide drainage improvement project, which had to be spent by September 30 or returned to the U.S. Treasury. The council also approved using $57,000 from its special projects fund to purchase a field striping machine for parks and recreation.
