One of the mowers is a large area <br />mower capable of cutting a ten foot width. The other mower is similar to our existing Toro <br />Groundsmaster mowers and can cut a six foot width. At the Wark Session it was the consensus <br />of the City Council to have this item brought to a regular meeting. <br /> <br />Attached to this memo is a copy of the December 15, 2008 staffmemo to the City Council with <br />more information regarding costs and benefits associated with accepting this donation. <br /> <br />In the December memo total repairs were estimated to cost approximately $6,000. Staff has re- <br />contacted Turfwerks regarding their estimate for repairs needed on the large area mower. The <br />estimate we previously received did not include a cost for labor for the repairs to the "wear <br />parts". Turfwerks has indicated that the labor needed to complete these repairs will be <br />approximately $1,000. For a total estimate of $7,000 to bring this mower back into good <br />working condition. <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staffrecommends accepting a donation of both of these mowers from the Mounds View School <br />District. <br /> <br />Staff also recommends that Turfwerks perform the needed repairs for a cost not to exceed <br />$7,000. <br />
