<br /> <br />Item No. 6 <br />Meeting Date: February 4, 2008 <br />Type of Business: WK <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />City Administrator Review _______ <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br /> <br />Item Title/Subject: Gasoline Purchase Review <br /> <br />Background: <br />Historically, the City has been purchasing gasoline from the Holiday station at <br />2732 County Road 10. This station is the sole source for all City-owned vehicles <br />and equipment, including Staff vehicles, Police squad cars, Public Works and <br />Parks maintenance vehicles, mowers, and all small gasoline powered equipment. <br /> <br />Diesel fuel for larger pieces of equipment including dump truck, loaders, <br />backhoes, etc. is purchased in bulk and is stored and dispensed from a storage <br />tank at Public Works. <br /> <br /> <br /> Discussion: <br />In the fall of 2007 the City received an invitation from The Station gas station to <br />set up an account to purchase gasoline at this location. Subsequently, an <br />account was set up with The Station. Also, when the City sold the golf course, <br />there were several items that the City retained which were not sold with the golf <br />course and associated auction. One such item was a 1000 gallon fuel storage <br />tank. This was retained at Public Works with the intention of utilizing this tank for <br />distributing gasoline. Due to its limited size, it was intended to be used mainly for <br />mowers and small gasoline powered equipment. <br /> <br />With the addition of The Station gasoline account and the option of utilizing the <br />former golf course gasoline storage tank, Staff explored all options for the <br />purchase and distribution of gasoline. Attached is this report, which was created <br />by the City’s Park Supervisor. A summary of the data is displayed in the following <br />table: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
