PROPOSAL THEREFORE
WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has advised the City Council that
the truck hoist at the City Garage has developed a mechanical failure which
would be very expensive to repair and he recommends that the existing 36,000
pound capacity hoist be replaced with a new 43,000 pound capacity hoist which
meets all OSHA requirements and is able to lift several automotive units which
weigh more than the capacity of the existing hoist; and

1989 budget, but failure has occurred now and it is essential to have this unit
operational in order to maintain a full level of service in the Equipment
Maintenance Division; and
WHEREAS, the City has established a Capital Projects Fund to provide
funds and to account for the expenditure of such funds for major capital outlays
(which shall include, but not be limited to, construction or acquisition of major
permanent facilities having a relatively long life); and /or to reduce debt
II incurred for capital outlays; and
WHEREAS, ',:ne Director of Public Works has advised the City Council that
the cost for furnishing and installation of a new 43,000 pound capacity hoist
will be less than $15,000 and that he is in the process of obtaining proposals
for this work.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that:
1. A sum not to exceed $15,000 is hereby appropriated to the

43,000 pound hoist, the City Manager is hereby authorized and
