POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT, CHIEF PECCHIA FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 23 - 95 Amending the Lino Lakes City code by Adopting the Anoka County Juvenile Curfew Ordinance - Chief Pecchia explained that the Anoka County Board of Commissioners has adopted a curfew ordinance that conforms to other curfew ordinances in the metropolitan area. At the City Council meeting on September 25, 1995, the Lino Lakes Police department requested that the Lino Lakes City Council adopt a resolution in support of establishing a county -wide Curfew Ordinance which would conform with other metropolitan counties. The City Council approved support by adopting Resolution No. 95 - 130. The City Attorney has reviewed the current City Curfew Ordinance and has recommended that the an amendment to this ordinance be adopted. The adoption of the proposed ordinance No. 23 - 95 would effectively adopt the Anoka County Juvenile Curfew Ordinance making the County Ordinance and the Lino Lakes Ordinance the same. Council Member Elliott moved to adopt the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 23 - 95 and dispense with the reading. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT, DAVID AHRENS Resolution No. 95 - 151 Accepting Bids and Authorize Purchase of Backhoe - Mr. Ahrens explained that the City's maintenance department has been renting a backhoe during the summer for the last several years to assist in various maintenance efforts throughout the City. The use of the backhoe has increased to the point where it is used year-round. Rather than continuing with the rental of a backhoe, the Public Works Department advertised for bids for the purchase of a backhoe. The bids were opened on October 23, 1995, with the following results: Midwest Machinery, Inc. (John Deere) St. Joseph Equipment Co. (Case) $47,293 46 $64,190.80 The option to rent -to -own was also considered. Over a five (5) year period, it would cost the City an additional $7,000.00 over the low bid amount noted above. Maintenance costs are the same between the rent -to -own option and the purchase option. Due to this extra cost, the rent -to -own option is not recommended. Page 8
