<br /> /~ 0 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> . Date: June 25, 1987 <br /> To: Arden Hills Council <br /> From: Robert W. Raddatz, Public Works Supervisor <br /> --------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> Wood Chipper <br /> We have. in our long range capital outlay plan, purchase of a <br /> brush chipper in 1988. The plans were to purchase this jointly <br /> with the Parks Department...total estimated cost $l2.000, each <br /> department to pay $6,000.00. <br /> Mr. Buckley and'I received a notice of sale of a used chipper. <br /> We spent Some time checking the machine. and operating it. It <br /> seems to be in excellent condition. The motor has 358 hours of <br /> use (which translates to a little over 43 days of use at 8 hours <br /> per day). The chipper runs smoothly. and reportedly does not <br /> use any oil. I am confident it would serve the City for a good <br /> number of years. <br /> The gentleman who owns the chipper would like $4,600 for it. <br /> John and I would like to recommend purchase of the machine. with <br /> . an initial offer to him of $4.200. Landfills no longer will <br /> accept any wood or brush. and it is becoming more difficult and <br /> costly. both in terms of disposal costs and manpower. to dispose <br /> of dead wood and brush. In the past. we have been fortunate <br /> enough to borrow chippers from Shoreview and Roseville (usually <br /> at times inconvenient to us). for about eight weeks per year. <br /> As you know. I did not hire the summer personnel budgeted for <br /> this year. The purchase price of the chipper could come from <br /> this savings. <br /> . <br /> . <br /> ..-- <br />
