WORKS DEPARTMENT
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
WHEREAS, on March 25, 2002, a City owned 2000 F-250 utility truck was involved in an accident
whereby the cost to repair the damage was greater than the value of the vehicle and was therefore
"totaled"; and
WHEREAS, the City carries a $10,000 deductible on this vehicle; and
WHEREAS, the City's insurance claims adjustor contacted the City with the following quotes and
options:
1. Sell the truck, with the utility box, for $20,500 with a $10,000 deductible.
2. Remove the utility box from the truck, replace it with a factory box (it has been stored in cold
storage), and sell the truck for $20,000 with a $10,000 deductible.
; and
WHEREAS, Option 2 is in the City best interest; and
WHEREAS, the damaged truck can be replaced with a 2002 Ford F-250 Extended Cab. This

$20,737.00 until April 24, 2002; and
