We have not been able to fmd the manufacturer or dealer for the <br />combo planer which is our unit of choice. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Attached is the information on the Harley rake that is a more versatile <br />leveler which costs about $6,600. <br /> <br />Another need that we are realizing is for computers. Our long range goal is <br />to network with each other as well as with City Hall. Scott Allen has <br />advised us that our present computers are of a home/office level and need to <br />be updated if we are to reach the goal of a network attachment with City <br />Hall. We will eventually need a total of 4 computers at about $1,500.00 <br />each, a printer at about $500.00 and a scanner at $200.00, but I am <br />suggesting that we purchase 2 computers, printer, and scanner now and <br />purchase the other 2 computers at a later date, when other funds might be <br />available. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends City Council's approval of the purchase of the Harley <br />rake for $6,600 and the computer equipment totaling $3,700.00 with funds <br />coming from the 2000 general fund Street Department budget. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway.
