City Council Regular Meeting — O1/08/07 <br />DRAFT Minutes - Page 4 <br />3.b Approve Contracts/Purchases in Excess of �5,000 <br />Councilmember Pust questioned the use of the proposed <br />new Fire Department vehicle; whether it would be used for <br />an on-call basis at the fire station or assigned to someone as <br />their personal vehicle. <br />Mr. Miller advised that the vehicle being replaced was <br />considered excess equipment and no longer used; and that <br />the new vehicle would be used for smaller incidents, rather <br />than a full-service fire engine, for additional cost-savings; <br />and would be available for use by the department, not one <br />specific person. <br />Councilmember Kough noted that the vehicle being sold <br />was a 1969 model, and while intended for offer on E-bay, <br />noted previous concerns expressed by retired firefighters <br />desiring to bid on discontinued equipment. <br />Mayor Klausing noted that it was the City's fiduciary role <br />to get the best return possible on sale of excess equipment; <br />and suggested that Councilmember Kough notify the retired <br />firefighters of the upcoming offering of the vehicle on �- <br />bay, to allow them to participate in the bidding process. <br />Councilmember Kough noted that he would contact the <br />retired firefighters as suggested. <br />Pust moved, Kough seconded, approval of general <br />purchases and/o� contracts as follows: <br />Vendor <br />Busch Architects <br />Thane Hawkins <br />Chevrolet <br />Tri �iate �c�bGat <br />C�'orlh ,4mcnr,ao �als <br />B�rboe T��14roeks <br />Design services far Skating Center <br />renovation <br />Replace Fire Engine #12 with Suburban <br />Rc ace Skid-�teer Y.nadex <br />Blankct �. �. �or R�ad �al- . . <br />E-�Gl��� � T�rtwork S�.�iic.h: s <br />Roll Call <br />Ayes: Roe; Kough; Pust; Ihlan and Klausing. <br />Nays: None. <br />Amount <br />$37,000.00 <br />35,419.38 <br />`����.��� ' <br />r,� <br />L �,8 LB.U� . <br />Contracts � <br />Purchases in Excess <br />of �5,000 <br />
