City Council Minutes <br /> August 6, 2019 <br /> Page 6 of 12 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> should not being charged to the general public. Mr. Gorr said he would explore <br /> this further. <br /> 9.1. Crack Sealinq Proiects <br /> Jason Gorr discussed the high priority of crack sealing projects for 2019. He <br /> stated to properly maintain Patriot Avenue and Main Street bids came back at <br /> $10,679.73. Mr. Gorr stated that Patriot Avenue and Main Street are a huge <br /> maintenance issue and the City needs to keep up on it so we can get the longest <br /> life out of these roads and the best way to do that is by crack sealing. He stated <br /> that if cracks are not sealed water gets in there and it starts undermining which <br /> creates more potholes and roadbed wash outs. He is requesting Council <br /> approval to crack seal Patriot Avenue and Main Street with monies from the <br /> Highway 371 Fund. <br /> COUNCIL MEMBER SWANSON MOVED TO APPROVE THE CRACK <br /> SEALING OF PATRIOT AVENUE AND MAIN STREET IN THE AMOUNT OF <br /> $10,679.73 FROM ANDERSON BROTHERS TO BE PAID FROM THE <br /> HIGHWAY 371 FUND. COUNCIL MEMBER AKERSON SECONDED THE <br /> MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 4-0. <br /> 9.2. Reauest to Purchase Trailer <br /> Jason Gorr stated the Public Works Department needs a trailer to haul <br /> equipment efficiently and safely. He said it would be used for hauling the skid <br /> steer and mowers around town. Mr. Gorr stated they cannot properly transport <br /> this equipment and sometimes the equipment is needed up to 1.5 to 7 miles <br /> away from the maintenance shop for snow removal, mowing, or street repair. <br /> Mr. Gorr explained the quote from AAA Equipment Center for$7,749 which is <br /> close to what a state bid would be even though he is not a state vendor. The <br /> Felling Trailer is 22' long and it would be used for the skid steer with <br /> attachments. He stated the trailer would haul two mowers at a time and make it <br /> easier to get them around town instead of driving the mowers from the shop to <br /> town saving wear and tear and providing a better response time for the <br /> community. <br /> Discussion ensued about storing the mowers at City Hall and the distance to do <br /> maintenance of the mowers causes just as much mileage on the mowers as <br /> storing them at the City Public Works Facility. <br /> Council Member Pederson asked if they currently had a trailer and if that trailer <br /> would be sold. Mr. Gorr stated they have a single trailer that only accommodates <br /> one mower and they would not be selling it because it would be useful if they <br /> need to use all three mowers. <br />
