MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JANUARY 26, 1994 <br />The next item discussed was purchase of a filter <br />crusher estimated at $2,200. The Superintendent <br />reported that currently a vendor in Ryan Industrial <br />Park is taking the City's filters. This appears to be <br />the best option available to the City at this time. <br />Therefore, this cost can be avoided. <br />Next a field groomer was discussed. Estimated cost is <br />$5,000. Morelan asked if a field groomer would replace <br />one of the Cushman trucksters. The Superintendent <br />replied that it would not since a field groomer can be <br />used only for grooming infields. The Superintendent <br />pointed out that more research would be done on this <br />item prior to a recommendation for purchase. <br />The Superintendent anticipated that the City's 1985 <br />4-wheel drive pick-up would need to be replaced in <br />1996. Estimated cost is $20,000. It was also <br />anticipated that the Hustler mower would need <br />replacement in 1997. Estimated cost is $35,000. <br />The next item reviewed was purchase of a street sweeper <br />at an estimated cost of $85,000. This piece of <br />equipment would allow the City to be swept more often <br />than the current once per year, thus keeping dirt and <br />debris out of the storm sewer system as well as streams <br />and lakes. More frequent sweeping would increase the <br />life of City streets. This purchase is in the <br />unallocated portion of the Capital Improvement Budget <br />at this time. <br />The last item on the listing was an airless striper <br />estimated at $4,000. This item is in the unallocated <br />portion of the CIP Budget, and more research would be <br />done prior to a recommendation being made on this <br />purchase. <br />The City Administrator pointed out the addition of <br />replacement of the 1977 snow plow truck at $20,000 and <br />replacement of the walk-behind mower at $5,000. The <br />Administrator also reported that in replacing <br />equipment, the City is attempting to make those <br />replacements with equipment that will do the most <br />efficient job possible. The recommendations being made <br />are all pending further study and justification. <br />The Administrator reviewed the Water/Sewer Capital <br />Replacement Budget and pointed out the recommendations <br />for capital replacement in that area. It is <br />recommended that replacement of the City's fax machine <br />with a plain-paper fax be funded from this account <br />since the majority of the use of the fax if for sewer <br />and water locates through Gopher State. In addition to <br />jetter tank rehab and lift station rehab, the City is <br />Page 6 <br />
