It was noted the current mower was unsafe for use as <br />it could no longer idle properly. The expense to replace the transmission was between $2,000- <br />3,000. He indicated the 72-inch mower was a necessary piece of equipment as it was used to <br />mow 150 acres of City parks, boulevards and on City-owned properties. He commented the <br />mower was not set to be replaced until 2017. He stated funds from the A-B Tractor could be <br />used for this purchase. Staff recommended the current mower be traded in at this time and that a <br />new mower be purchased. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty stated this mower posed a huge liability to the City given its current condition. <br />He recommended the mower not be used this spring and supported the purchase of the new piece <br />of equipment. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller asked if the new mower would have the same hydrostatic transmission. <br />Steve stated this was the case. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull.
