Cutting grass in the village should be easier this summer.
Lake Orion Village Council members on April 25 agreed to buy a SCAG Z-Cat mower from Ace Hardware in Lake Orion. The cost is $5,160.
The mower’s 42 inch deck will make it easier to maneuver around the headstones at the cemeteries.
According to councilman John Ranville, who was the village’s DPW director, the mower was a ‘cheap price.? He said a Dixie Chopper the village had bought in the past was $6,500.
LO Village Manager JoAnn Van Tassel said there is money in the Capital Improvement Fund to cover the cost of the new mower.
