<br /> <br />Toro would allow the City $1,100.00 towards this purchase for the trade in of our <br />Hustler XL mower. The staff has investigated the value of this mower and has <br />determined that it is greater than $1,1000 on the open market. Staff also <br />recognizes a need to have a backup mower in parks to mow rough areas and <br />areas around the well houses. Because of these factors, staff recommends that <br />the City retain this mower until June of this year and monitor its use. At that time, <br />staff will analyze the benefit of retaining this mower versus its estimated cash <br />value. If the cash value is greater, the mower can be put in an equipment auction <br />that is scheduled in June. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of a 2002 Toro <br />Groundsmaster 328D 4WD rotary mower with the aforementioned accessories <br />under state contract in the amount of $19,964.49. It is also recommended that <br />City Council approve the sale of the Hustler XL 440 rotary mower should staff <br />determine the estimated cash value is greater than the benefit of retaining this <br />mower. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
