.PART <br /> <br /> TIME SUMMER WORKERS <br /> Case Hayward from the Ice Arena would transfer to the Street/Park Department <br /> from May to October with a primary duty assignment of mowing turf grass. <br />· Darwin Schuur would return for two or three days per week for six months and be <br /> assigned to mow turf grass. <br />· Sara Hopko, a college student who has worked for the Street/Park Department for <br /> the past three years, would return to maintain the athletic fields and flowerbeds. <br />· Jeremy Pipenhagen worked last summer as a Street/Park part time summer worker <br /> and would like to return for the summer as a Park Laborer/Mower Operator. <br />· Paul Kohler has worked the past few years as a Park Mower Operator (athletic field <br /> maintenance) and would like to return for 20-25 hours per week. <br />· For a complete summer crew we would need two more summer youth. <br /> <br />ROADSIDE MO WER <br />On January 8, 2001, the City Council approved the purchase of a 20' 6" Diamond Boom <br />Roadside Mower for the price of $44,730, including sales tax. As the Council will recall, this <br />was an attachment with a separate engine drive, for our front-end loader. Recently, Doyle <br />Equipment offered to sell us a two-year-old tractor with 1200 hours and a new 20' 6" boom <br />mower for $47,000. Including sales tax, the total comes to $50,055 or $55.00 over the dollar <br />limit to purchase by quotations. <br /> <br />In my opinion, the city would be better served to purchase the mower and tractor for the <br />additional $5,325. If the Council agrees with this recommendation, I would ask permission <br />to go out for bids, hoping that by the time we receive the bids the State Legislature would <br />eliminate the sales tax on municipalities. Funds would come from Council Contingency. <br /> <br /> <br />
