The annual contract cost would be $6,500. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer inquired if this idea had been discussed with Public Works <br />Supervisor Mevissen. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated he has discussed this--with Mr. Mevissen and he <br />(Mevissen) has some reservations. He (Mevissen) had done this before and the first year <br />all went fine; however, the second year did not go so well. He stated he talked with Staff <br />at the City of Plymouth and they have contracted out snow removal for the last 15 years. <br />He stated that in talking with other cities, he found one drawback to be that a lot of people <br />who do contzact snowplowing have typically snowplowed parking lots, not streets. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hardin stated the City would not award the contract to someone who has <br />not previously plowed streets. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated this contracting could be done in place of purchasing the truck Public <br />Works requested in the 1994 budget. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hardin and seconded by Mayor Gilbertson to authorize Staff to <br />solicit bids for snow removal. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbenson, Councilmembers Hardin, Peterson and <br />Zimmerman. Voting No: Councilmember Beyer. She felt that the City should look at this <br />very seriously. Council just authorized the Fire Department to solicit bids for a tanker and <br />she felt that the Street Department needs good equipment also. <br /> <br />4) Meeting at Dayton <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder reported that the City of Dayton has a committee of citizens looking at the <br />transportation plan. There are some members of their Planning Commission on this <br /> <br />City Council/September 28, 1993 <br /> Page 10 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
