OLD BUSINESS
NEW BUSINESS
9.a. 2017 Proposed Public Works Equipment Purchases
Interim City Engineer Morast presented additional information regarding the public works
equipment as requested by Council at the last work session. There are six items that the Council was
not ready to move forward with. The total estimated cost was originally budgeted at $682,000, and
recommended equipment purchase is $602,000. Staff is currently recommending not moving
forward with the trash pump. Staff is recommending auctioning the Ford Focus and not replacing
it, putting the proceeds toward the purchase of other items. Staff maintains their recommendation
to purchase a new van due to the cost of reimbursing staff for use of their personal vehicles. The
John Deere Gator is also recommended for purchase instead of rental.
As requested, staff made additional inquiries into other truck brands. Staff maintains their
recommendation to purchase the Fords for additional gas economy, aluminum bodies, and
consistency in maintenance. Staff has spoken with Enterprise Rent-a-Car to explore purchasing
leased vehicles; however would like to look at potentially implementing that in 2018.
