To the Honorable City Council:
I respectfully request an appropriation of $486,805 from the Capital Stabilization Fund for the purpose of procuring Heavy Equipment/Vehicles for the Parks & Recreation Department. The Parks & Recreation Department needs the required equipment to appropriately manage athletic fields and facilities. This includes but is not limited to: snow removal, mowing, athletic field preparation, grooming, and ongoing maintenance. All equipment directly impacts the Department's ability to manage athletic fields and facilities.
The attached documents delineate the proposed equipment purchases.
The proposed equipment purchases are part of the FY20 Departmental Vehicles Allocation in the FY20 Capital Investment Plan.
My staff will be available to address any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this item.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
