ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mark Thompson, Chair of Fleet Committee <br />FROM: Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation Director <br />DATE: March 16, 2009 <br />SUBJECT: Parks Maintenance Purchases <br />The Parks Maintenance Division is requesting approval of two items from the 2009 <br />Equipment Purchase list. These are the two items discussed at the Fleet Committee meeting <br />on March 11. These two items are a Kromer athletic field groomer/liner, estimated at <br />$21,846 and an herbicide sprayer estimated at $6,900. Both of these items replace obsolete <br />equipment that was in need of expensive repair. Ball field grooming, field lining, and weed <br />spraying are activities that commence almost immediately after the snow melts. 'The lead <br />time on these items is two to four weeks. <br />As we discussed at the Fleet Committee meeting, these items were not included in the <br />potential reductions for 2009. The Fleet Committee has identified $250,000 in reductions for <br />2009 and the Council has reserved an additional $100,000 for potential budget reductions. <br />As you know, the Fleet Committee passed a resolution approving that this request move <br />forward for Council consideration. <br />
