City Council Minutes March 5, 2020 Page 8 of 9 ----------------------------- 9.5. Request to Purchase Skid Steer Attachment Jason Gorr informed the Council the Public Works Department's purchase of the new pay loader and subsequent trade in of the John Deere tractor backhoe will be completed in March. He stated in order to keep all the same functionality and capabilities they would like to purchase 2 attachments for the Skid Steer; a 72" Grapple Bucket and 48" Pallet Forks. He said the need for grapple buckets would be for smaller situations where they cannot get into, for example moving trees if there is a storm. He stated they had pallet forks on old John Deere which were used to remove shipments off of trucks. He stated he received the following three quotes for equipment: • McCoy Construction Forestry - $4,611.35 • Skid Pro Attachments - $3,669.00 • Ziegler CAT- $4,640.00 Mr. Gorr stated the purchase would be paid form funds remaining in GO Equipment Certificate 2014A Fund. Ms. Malecha explained that the GO Equipment Certificate 2014A Fund was a debt service fund where the City issued a debt for one of the big snowplow trucks that was purchased. She stated that when the City issued that debt, it had to be issued at 105% of the levy capacity just in case there were delinquent taxes. She explained that it is kind of a buffer to make sure the City gets the full amount needed to pay for the piece of equipment. Ms. Malecha stated that the City has made all of the payments and there is money left over in this Fund which can only be utilized for the Roads and Streets Department. She informed the Council that there is about $9,000 left in the Fund. COUNCIL MEMBER SEILS MOVED TO AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF A GRAPPLE BUCKET AND PALLET FORKS FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT'S SKID STEER FROM SKID PRO ATTACHEMENTS AT A COST OF $3,669 TO BE PAID FROM THE GO EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATE 2014A FUND.
