Councilmember Dunlap moved to adopt the consent calendar. The motion was duly

the consent calendar included the granting of an excused absence to Councilmember
John N. Bertsch, ratifying the Mayor's reappointment of Joel Steed and Jorge

Mike Gilliland, Director of Public Works presented for consideration to award bids and
authorize Mayor to execute necessary agreements for purchase of backhoe. Three
bids were received as follows: Heritage Equipment with a base bid price of $77,300.00
with $18,000.00 for trade-in for a total price of $59,300.00; Warren CAT with a base bid
price of $69,425.00 with $13,000.00 for trade-in for a total price of $56,425.00 and
Yellowhouse Machinery with a base bid price of $75,985.00 with $15,000.00 for trade-in
for a total price of $60,985.00.
The parks department has a backhoe that is not working. It has been estimated that it
will cost $6,500 to fix the backhoe belonging to the water department. It is his
recommendation that the City keep the backhoe belonging to the water department and
turn it over to the parks department. This would have the City being over budget
$5,725.00. However the City was under budget in the amount of $3,269.00 with a
recent pick-up purchase. This would just put us over budget in the amount of
$2,456.00. Also, the parks department backhoe will be presented at auction for sale
and this would help with the budget shortfall. The last backhoe sold at auction sold for
$8,600.
