LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 7, 1986 Page 10 <br />This Report will be presented at the City Council meeting on <br />January 21, 1986. <br />D. Office Equipment Needs <br />Information was distributed by the City Administrator regarding <br />various copiers with respect to cost, features and sorters. <br />Administrator Overby will look into a copier with only the <br />features that are necessary and most cost effective. <br />M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - to authorize spending $8,000 for the most cost <br />effective copier system and to consider leasing versus buying. <br />(Motion carried 4-0). <br />E. Request for Bids on New Dump Truck <br />The 5 Year Capital Improvement Program for Maintenance Department <br />Equipment indicates that replacement of the 1979 dump truck is <br />scheduled for 1986. <br />Dunn - I would like to advertise for bids to get some idea of the <br />cost of these vehicles. At this point we have some basis to <br />determine the value of old versus new. I suggest that we either <br />use the truck or get rid of it. <br />The specifications would be for the truck, hydraulic mechanism and <br />dump box. The plow, underbody and sander would be acquired <br />separately, be dealing directly with the manufacturers. There is <br />$29,800 in reserve funds budgeted for this. <br />M/S/P Morgan/Christ - to advertise for bids on a new dump truck <br />per specifications. (Motion carried 4-0). <br />F. Newsletter Item <br />Bruce Dunn suggested that this information relative to household <br />hazardous waste could be inserted into the City Newsletter and <br />Shoppers Review. <br />Rose Armstrong and Bob Overby will look into the most effective <br />way. <br />G. Office Space Project <br />Mayor Morgan had talked to Mr. Friedrich, and he was willing to <br />trade land around the access to the park. The land by the church <br />is not available because he has sold it. City Engineer Bohrer <br />will look into the amount of land needed for a building, parking <br />and a drainfield. Councilmember Armstrong questioned if this <br />entry on an angle would create a traffic hazard and felt Mn/Dot <br />and Engineer Bohrer could look at the site. <br />H. Snowmobile problem <br />There are problems with snowmobiles being driven on people's <br />property in front of the White Hat and onto Lake Elmo Oil. An <br />
