rid MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development DATE: December 15, 1983 SUBJECT: PURCHASE WITH REVENUE SHARING MONIES OF ASPHALT HEATER AND OIL SPRAYER In a memo to the Council in early November, staff recommended that a more detailed evaluation of equipment for use by City personnel for street repair work be completed before a final recommendation to the City Council be made. Staff proceeded with arranging for some on -site demonstrations of some asphalt heating and recycling equipment. The demonstrations were scheduled but had to be cancelled because of the unusual amount d 1 in our winter season. As a result, of snow we receive ear y staff has been unable to complete the detailed review as recommended in early November. It was further brought to the attention of staff that if the equipment that is to be purchased cannot be delivered by December 31, 1983, then it will not qualify for consideration under 19B3 budget items. It is staff's opinion that a review of the equipment in a more detailed fashion .is very desirable prior to making a recommenda- tion on purchase of such equipment. Since this cannot be practically completed in 1983, staff would reco;ru��en,.,� that the..�� Council given consideration to reappropriating the expenditure of monies for the piece of equipment in 1984. The decision to reappropriate would be made upon conclusion of a detailed staff review of the equipment available and a decision by the Council whether, in fact, such equipment should be utilized or could be utilized effectively for City street maintenance purposes.
