RE: Purchase of Additional Mowers with Remaining Equipment
Funds
ISSUE:
Whether or not to use remaining Public Works Operating Equipment Funds to
purchase additional mowers.
BACKGROUND:
At the mid-year budget review $35,000 was allocated for the purchase of an
additional slope mower. Public Works was able to purchase this mower at a
discount price of$21,000. This leaves a balance of $14,000 in the Public Works
Operating Equipment Account (6400). Several other mowers used by this
department are at or near the end of their service life and require replacement.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff requests permission to use the remaining funds to purchase two additional
Dixie Chopper mowers.
