COLFAX — Among the business conducted at the 13-minute-long January 22 Colfax Village Board meeting was the approval of a Bobcat municipal trade-in for $4,500.
The village board spent about a minute making the motion and approving the trade-in.
The total price of the Bobcat from Bobcat Plus is $60,907.08, along with $660 for the dealer pre-delivery inspection and $1,525 for freight charges, according to the paperwork received by the village board.
The Village of Colfax will receive $58,592 on the trade-in of the 2023 Bobcat T66 that currently has 125 hours on it so that the brand new Bobcat will cost the village $4,500.68.
The Bobcat will come with a “comfort package” that includes enclosed HVAC cab; radio; adaptable heated cloth air ride seat; power Bob-tach; solid undercarriage; five-inch display; premium lights; keyless start; two-speed travel; 7-pin attachment control; dual direction bucket positioning; rear camera and sound reduction.
The Bobcat also will have high-flow hydraulics and a 12.6 inch multi-bar lug track.
The Colfax Village Board unanimously approved the trade-in at a cost of $4,500.68.
Village Trustee Anne Jenson was absent from the meeting.
Voting in favor of the motion were Jeff Prince, village president, and village trustees Clint Best, Margaret Burcham, Carey Davis, Jen Rud and Gary Stene.
