<br />Chairperson Riley asked and received confirmation that the trailer would be a replacement and not <br />an addition. <br /> <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer confirmed the existing trailer would be brought to auction. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked for details on funding. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby replied that these funds were included in the budget. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove commented that she would want to see the $33,000 spent on pavement <br />rejuvenation and use the Capital Fund for the trailer purchase. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby explained that pavement rejuvenation is used on streets between three to <br />five years old. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the funds could be carried over to the next year. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley replied at the end of the year excess funds that have been budgeted are allocated <br />to the funds within the policy set by the Council, as was done this past year. He stated that when <br />funds are budgeted for fixing roads, they should be spent on that purpose. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she does want the funds spent on roads and explained that <br />her question was whether the trailer purchase could be done with capital funds. She asked if the <br />budgeted funds could be used on equipment rather than road repairs. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby replied that the patching trailer is 100 percent used for road maintenance <br />purposes. <br /> <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer replied that the last trailer was purchased in this same <br />manner. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley replied that he is glad there was an appropriate use found for these budgeted <br />funds. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby explained that the scope of work this year is generally a little larger than <br />staff would typically bring forward. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Musgrove, seconded by Councilmember Woestehoff, to recommend <br />City Council approval of plans and specifications and award of contract for Improvement Project <br />#21-11, 2021 Pavement Rejuvenation Improvements and purchase of pavement patching trailer. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
