MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />FEBRUARY 28, 2001 <br />The City Administrator reported that the Public Works Director has done a <br />very good job in negotiating the price for the 2000 truck, and obtained a price <br />that is below what the truck could have been purchased for under the State <br />Contract. <br />It was pointed out that the issue of exempting cities from paying sales tax is <br />back in the Legislature. Therefore, staff is proposing that the purchase of the <br />box and plows be delayed until that issue is resolved. <br />The Public Works Director reported that if the new truck is purchased, staff is <br />proposing that the 1986 truck be sold, including the wing and plow. The <br />Public Works Director also pointed out that the 2000 truck is a single-axle, <br />diesel with 250 horsepower, automatic and air brakes. It is currently orange, <br />but would be painted at no increase in price. The truck has a fixll warranty. <br />Montour asked where the additional $30,000 would come from. The City <br />Administrator pointed out that additional dollars would be freed up as a result <br />of assessing part of the cost of improving the Little Canada Road/McMenemy <br />Road parking lot, there would be dollars generated from the sale of the 1986 <br />truck, and there may be some other Public Works purchases which would need <br />to be delayed. <br />Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2001-2-54 -APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF A <br />2000 TRUCK (CAB AND CHASSIS) FROM 13OYER FORD IN THE <br />AMOUNT OF $48,100 PLUS SALES TAX AS OUTL INED 73Y THE <br />PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR WITH PURCHASE OF BOX AND PLOWS <br />TO BE PRESENTED TO THE CO UNCII.
