MEMO <br /> November 1, 1996 <br /> To: Jim March <br /> From: Paul Palzer <br /> Re: Sweeper and Snow blower for John Deere <br /> I have been in contact with the park and recreation board and it has been decided that with <br /> the past problems with the rink attendants and snow removal, that the public works <br /> department will be performing all the rink maintenance work this winter. In order to <br /> perform this work in a safe and expedient manner I propose the purchase of a snow <br /> blower and sweeper for the John Deere tractor. These items will cost around $6,000.00. <br /> Besides utilizing this equipment on the rink, we will also be able to clear the sidewalk for <br /> the school children in a safer manner, haul away the excess snow and clear future trail <br /> ways. In the spring will we be able to sweep the boulevards before the streets are swept, <br /> eliminating the complaint of sand and gravel on the grass. <br /> As the city grows we will be able to sweep the parking lot at city hall for the annual street <br /> dance and problem areas with the new building construction. I would like to obtain this <br /> equipment as soon as possible with the fast approach of winter. The public works budget <br /> has $20,000.00 available for this expenditure and the possible acquisition of a <br /> loader/backhoe plus some smaller hand tools. <br />
