� EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: FR4M: March 14, 20l 1 Honorable Mayor and City Co�ncilmembers Patrick Klaers, Ci�y Administrator � Ci Terry Maurer, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Praposed Amendment to the 5 Year Equiprr�ent CIP Back round On January � 8, 201 �, the City Council held a work session at the Public Works facility where a discussion of current issues pertaining to the aperation of the Pub�ic Works crew was discussed. One of those issues presented by me was a proposai to change the fleet makeup in an effort to rraake the infrastructure maintenance tasks more efficient anc� to add more redundancy from an equip�ent standpaint to critical tasks performed by our Publie Warks crew. With that as bacicground, a#tached are the Projects by Year summary sheei from the current adopted 5 Year Equi�znent CI� anc� a propased amended plan. Alsa attached are the detail sheets from the p,roposed amended p�an. As you will note from comparing these two; the tota� expenditure over the fve year per�od is approximately the sazne and the year-by-year expenditure is actually lower in 20l 1 and 20I2 in the proposed plan than the adopted pIan. The proposed plan has been reviewed with the Director of Finance and Adrninistrative Serviees. Some of the major changes in the amended pIan are no#ed below with a more an-depth discussion of specific fleet changes later in the me�o: • The replacement of the Skid Steer scheduled for 2dI l would get the City into Bobcat's prograrn of providing a new Skid Steer every � 2 months at a east of approximately $2,500. This wil� become a� equipment Iease and will be maved to the Public Works operating budget in the future. • The replacement of the setter and Vactar Truck with Combo Machine has been moved to 2012 and the Replacement of the 1998 Dump Truck with plow/win�/sander has been zx�oved to 201 l. This is proposed because the dump truck is more critical to the operation than the jetter/vactor combo �nachine. City Council Meeting C:lUserslter�y.maurerlDesktoplEquipmentCl PMemo.dac Paae I of 4
