At this point in time, we have located a unit in Wells, <br />Minnesota that is very interesting, but I have some concerns. <br /> <br />The truck is a 1987 Model that was traded in by a southern Minnesota County. The main <br />issue is cost. The asking price is $34,000 plus sales tax would bring the total to $36,250. <br /> <br />As the Council may remember, we had $20,000 left from the loader purchase. I would <br />suggest that we sell two of our stand~by trucks, which should generate approximately <br />$10,000, and use equipment reserve money to make up the difference. <br /> <br />. If this seems like a reasonable approach, I would ask the City Council to authorize the <br />advertisement for bids to be opened on February 10, 1995. There is always a chance that <br />this truck could be sold or another good one could come along, so we will continue to <br />look until the time that the bids are opened. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway.
