It was planned that this equipment would be financed <br />through the use of 1988 Equipment Certificates. This request is <br />being presented at this time as this equipment is needed prior to <br />winter 1987-88. and the fact that there are a number of good used <br />trucks on the market at this time. The availability of good used <br />trucks at this time is because other local units of government are <br />gearing up for winter and purchasing new trucks. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER TRALLE MOVED TO PURCHASE A USED TANDEM AXLE TRUCK <br />FROM THE COUNTY OF ANOKA.
