5 Minutes CASE ~7: <br /> <br />STATUS OF ICE RINK FLOODING FOR 1987/1988 <br /> By: Dave Hartley, City Administrator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Early in the year the City of Ramsey purchased a tanker truck which was <br />intended for multiple purposes (ice rznk flooding, street sweeping, and as a <br />back-up tanker for fire protection). In order to use this tanker for any of <br />these purposes, modifications must be made. The City Council reviewed <br />previously the possxbility of retro-f~tting this tanker to accommodate the <br />multiple needs or uses and has taken no action as of this date. In order to <br />provide ice rznk grooming for 1987/1988 the City must either make major repairs <br />to the older tanker owned by the City or retro-fit the new tanker currently <br />owned by the City. With fall and subsequently winter coming upon us, it is <br />timely that the City Council consider directing Staff regarding this matter. <br />Similarly, if contracting out is an option which the Council wishes to pursue <br />regarding ice rxnk groomzng, then requests for proposals need to be established <br />right away. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />It is Staff's recommendation that the Council authorize the retro-fitting of <br />the new tanker. <br /> <br />Council action will be to discuss and give direction. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />Administrator <br />Attorney <br />Engineer <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />_X <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Finance Officer <br />Public Works Superzntendent <br />Other <br /> <br /> <br />
