MEMORANDUM

Mayor and City Council
Phil Dais, Street/Park superinten~

DATE:
October 11, 2000
SUBJECT: Sale of Used Equipment
.
Weare actively involved in purchasing a roadside mower attachment for our
front-end loader and the disposal of our present roadside mower is the
question at hand. Our mower is a 1982 Ford tractor with a Tiger mower that
we purchased used about 10 years ago. The dealers are not particularly
interested in taking this tractor in on trade but Eldon Lee, the Street
Superintendent for the City of Fifty Lakes, has contacted me and they are
interested in purchasing this mower tractor for $2,000 from us.
I have talked to several equipment dealers to establish a value on our tractor
and I feel that a price of $2,000 is slightly lower then what the dealer's value
would be but, I believe that it will help a smaller city and the good will
involved will justify the sale.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends selling the 1982 Ford tractor and Tiger mower to the City
of Fifty Lakes for $2,000.
