CELINA-In a short March meeting held here last week, City of Celina alderman approved the purchase of a vehicle, authorized inspections of water tanks, and passed a budget amendment for the water department.

City mayor Luke Collins and alderman Justin Rich both commented on the vehicle purchase prior to its approval.

“This is to purchase a utility bed truck from Mike’s Auto Sales for $16,500,” Collins said, before Rich offered his thoughts.

“I have looked at it several times,” he said, before making a motion to approve the purchase.

Alderman Kenny Westmoreland then seconded the motion and it passed 2-0.

City legislators also approved the low bid of $8,225 for the inspection of all the Celina Water System’s tanks and clearwell storage tanks.

These tank inspections are mandatory after every five years of operation. 

Rich made a motion to approve the low bid, Westmoreland seconded it, and it passed 2-0.

Rich also made a motion to approve a budget amendment for the water department in the amount of $225,000.

Westmoreland seconded the motion, and it passed 2-0.
