Mayor Kuzma asked if this was a smaller truck for the cul-de-sacs. <br /> <br />Street Supervisor Turner said yes. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma asked if this would be in addition to what the City currently has or if it would <br />replace a vehicle. <br /> <br />Street Supervisor Turner stated that this would be an additional vehicle due to the increase in <br />roundabouts and cul-de-sacs in the City. He noted that this vehicle could also stay available for <br />slick roads in the middle of the night. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if the City already has a trailer mounted boom lift. <br /> <br />Street Supervisor Turner stated that the City does not currently have a trailer mounted boom lift. <br />He noted that this would be used for tree trimming as well as tree decorating. He stated that they <br />are currently using a front end loader for these things; however, sometimes the front end loader <br />does not give them the height that they need. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if this would be used for the right-of-way clearing as well as an <br />area on the bridge between Ramsey and Nowthen. <br /> <br />Street Supervisor Turner said yes and explained that they cannot reach some of these things safely <br />to trim the trees. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if this would also be able to be used on trails. <br /> <br />Street Supervisor Turner said yes. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma asked if the new scissor lift is a replacement of an existing lift. <br /> <br />Street Supervisor Turner said it is not a replacement as they do not currently have one in their <br />Public Works facility. He explained that they have contractors they pay to come in when they need <br />a scissor lift. He noted that this lift would also help assist with the garage doors if there were ever <br />any issues with them. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked if the scissor lift and the trailer mounted boom lift can do the same <br />thing. <br /> <br />Street Supervisor Turner explained that the two have different functions. He noted that the scissor <br />lift is battery operated and rechargeable while the boom lift is powered by gas or electric. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked what height the scissor lift is able to reach. <br /> <br />Street Supervisor Turner stated that the scissor lift could reach up to 25-30 feet. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / September 12, 2023 <br />Page 5 of 15 <br /> <br />
