RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1997 CENTRAL GARAGE BUDGET, APPROVING
SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR ONE
SIDEWALK SNOWPLOW
WHEREAS, City vehicle #65, a sidewalk snowplow, suffered considerable wear and tear
and broke down repeatedly during cleanup of the unusually snowy winter of 1996-97; and
WHEREAS, this vehicle was scheduled for routine replacement in the 1998 Central Garage
Fund budget; and
WHEREAS, accelerated replacement of the vehicle would allow for more reliable sidewalk
snow removal service during the early months of the winter of 1997-98, and avoid additional expense
related to continued maintenance of this unreliable vehicle; and
WHEREAS, sufficient replacement funds have been built up in the Central Garage Fund
which would allow the vehicle to be replaced this Fall rather than waiting until 1998, at an estimated cost
of $70,900; and
• WHEREAS, the Superintendent of Public Works has prepared specifications for the
purchase of said sidewalk snowplow.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn
Center, Minnesota that:
1. The 1997 Central Garage Fund Budget is hereby amended to provide for the
purchase of this sidewalk snowplow from accumulated depreciation.
2. The specifications are hereby approved.
3. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to advertise for and receive bids
for the purchase of said sidewalk snowplow in accordance with said specifications.
