McDonough council replacing lost vehicles

The McDonough City Council voted unanimously at its April 27 meeting to approve the purchase of several vehicles to replace those lost in a recent vehicle accident. The city is spending $44,694 to buy six SCAG Tiger Cat II EFI mowers from Vansant’s Lawnmower Sales and Service, as well as $33,658 for a 2020 Ford F250 4x4 Super Cab short-bed truck.

The transactions are being funded under the city’s street department budget. Insurance funds, which have already been received by the city, will cover the cost of the truck and five of the mowers which were totaled in the accident.
