    The council approved a $99,987.60 masticator purchase, moved off the consent agenda and approved separately; the minutes record the vote as unanimous with no tally. The fire chief said the earlier $84,850.04 figure had risen because attachments had to fit an older machine. Staff said the money would come from the Capital Improvement Fund and that a budget revision would follow.
