G.10 Approve Purchase Agreement for 15230 Greene Ave. N. (Bruce Bernin Trust) At their meeting of October 19, 2022, the Parks Commission discussed the purchase of a .46 acre property located at 15320 Greene Avenue North. The property is currently owned by the Bruce A Bernin Trust and was recently listed for sale. It is located immediately south of the city- owned future park property on Greene Avenue that was previously purchased from and leased back to the Bernins. The .46-acre residential lot would allow for flexibility in locating the park entrance, ease of utility connections, and a better buffer between the park and the residential neighborhood. The Parks Commission recommend purchase of property through the Special Park Fund. It was discussed that if it is not possible to incorporate the property into the master plan of the future park, the residential lot could be sold in the future. Staff worked on an offer and presented it to the seller, which was accepted. Staff has signed the purchase agreement contingent on City Council approval. Staff recommends approval of the purchase agreement for the property located at 15320 Greene Avenue North with a purchase price of $145,000. G.11 Approve Quote from Arnt Construction for Demolition of Buildings at 6540 Greene Ave. N. (Bernin Property) Staff received quotes from four contractors for the demolition of the buildings located at 6540 Greene Ave N. Staff recommends Council consider the quotes received and enter into a contract for the amount of $62,500.00 with Arnt Construction for the demolition work. G.12 Approve Purchase of New Brush Truck for the Hugo Fire Department Included in the City’s 2023 budget is funding for the purchase of a new brush truck for the Fire Department. This will replace a 1997 Jeep Wrangler. Due to the current market conditions and shortage of parts worldwide, the department has been advised by Midway Ford that this vehicle could take 6 to 8 months or even longer to receive after order. Therefore, Fire Chief Jim Compton is requesting approval now in order to ensure it can be received in a timely manner in 2023. The cost of this vehicle is as expected, and staff has budgeted in the capital improvement plan appropriately for the replacement. Staff recommends Council authorize the ordering of a 2023 Ford F350 Super Duty from Midway Ford Commercial Fleet and Government Sales.
