Item No:7C <br />Meeting Date: June 25, 2012 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: ____ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7962, Approving the Purchase of a 2012 Ford F350 <br />Pickup Truck from Midway Ford <br /> <br />Background/Discussion: <br /> <br />As part of the Public Works Department’s maintenance program, service trucks are purchased for <br />the specific division that will perform the needed maintenance and inspections required for <br />infrastructure operation and maintenance. The Public Works Department has a number of pickup <br />trucks used for a variety of uses. Truck #135 a 2000 Ford 250 is assigned to the Street department <br />and has been used as the primary plow truck for the parking lots, sidewalks and trials. Over the life <br />of the truck repairs have been minimal, however last winter staff noticed that the transmission was <br />starting to slip as the truck was used for plowing. An inspection of the truck was completed and as <br />the pictures show major rust in the doors and rear vendors is apparent. At that point staff started <br />looking into replacing unit #135. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
