The twenty year old machine served a useful life for the <br /> city, but does not meet OSHA standards. The machine is currently <br /> stored in the back of city hall. In an effort to clean out this <br /> storage area and pass along the outdated equipment, the public <br /> works foreman advertised the 1972 sewer router. Although there <br /> were some initial inquiries about the machine, no party expressed <br /> an interest in purchasing the machine after an ad appeared in the <br /> paper and in the League of Minnesota Cities magazine. There <br /> appears to be no demand for an old machine that does not meet <br /> OSHA standards. However, the City of Hugo staff expressed a <br /> willingness to haul it away and use it for parts. <br /> Staff recommends allowing the City of Hugo to use the 1972 sewer <br /> router for parts if a release from liability agreement <br /> accompanies the transaction, and if the City of Hugo hauls the <br /> equipment away. This will save the cost of disposal for Falcon <br /> Heights. <br /> Attachments: <br /> A Agreement to donate a 1972 sewer router to the City of Hugo <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: Approve donating the 1972 sewer router to the <br /> City of Hugo for use of parts only. <br />
