'~ity of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br /> **Item #3.8?* <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />Phil Hals, Street/Park Superintendent <br /> <br />April 6, 1998 <br /> <br />Joint Equipment Purchase with Cities <br />of Buffalo and Monticello <br /> <br />In recent discussions with public works directors from Buffalo and Monticello <br />it was suggested that our three cities consider purchasing a cold planer <br />attachment for our skid loader. In past years we have rented a cold planer to <br />grind out cracks and potholes prior to patching. This machine leaves straight <br />sides and a smooth surface to patch against. It can also be used to do relief <br />cuts along a curb line before an overlay, grind away concrete, or grind out <br />stumps. <br /> <br />Buffalo, Monticello, and Elk River have jointly owned a craclrfilling melter <br />for four years and the shared use and ownership has worked very well. <br /> <br />I could not justify purchasing this attachment for our department alone <br />based on cost and hours of operation, but a three way venture would mean <br />that our cost would be less than $4,000, and I request that the City Council <br />authorize this purchase with the funds coming from the equipment reserve <br />budget. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway * P.O. Box 490 * Elk River, MN 55330 * TDD & Phone: (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425 <br /> <br /> <br />
