~ity of <br /> <br />Vel' <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />**ITEH 5.11.** <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />Phil Hals, Street/Park Supt. <br /> <br />August 19, 1996 <br /> <br />Purchases from ISD 728 <br /> <br />When the School District grounds crew moved into the city's street <br />department building, they relocated a two car garage from the Oak Knoll <br />fields sites to the northwest corner of our building. This garage needs a coat <br />of paint, but is otherwise in good condition. We could make use of it to store <br />signs, barricades, small seasonal equipment, seed, fertilizer, and the like. <br /> <br />Another item that they have offered to sell is a tow behind turf sprayer that <br />has a 200 gallon tank and a 20 foot spray broom. They purchased the <br />sprayer new several years ago and have since chosen to contract all of their <br />turf spraying. We have used the sprayer for our turf herbicides and it works <br />well. The cost of a new sprayer is about $2,500. A School District <br />representative has asked $3,000 for both item and I would consider that to be <br />a good deal for the city. <br /> <br />Action Requested <br /> <br />I would request City Council approval to purchase the garage and the <br />sprayer from ISD 728 for $3,000 with half of the money coming from the park <br />equipment reserve and half from the street equipment reserve. <br /> <br />councilXshedspra.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
