Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson, Zimmerman and Beyer. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Beahen. Case #12: Report from Finance Committee 1) Authorize Purchase of One 3/4-Ton Pick-up with Snow Plow Finance Officer Hart explained that the 1996 adopted General Fund Budget included $23,000 for the purchase of a 3/4-ton 4 x 4 truck equipped with a snow plow. This is a replacement for Unit #618. This would be used primarily for parks and utilities but is also the designated "snow emergency" vehicle for the Police Department. She stated that the total bid for the truck, plow, topper, license and registration comes to $23,658.37. That exceeds the budgeted amount but staff will attempt to trade the existing unit. She added that the overage can be absorbed within the general operating budget. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution #96-02-041 authorizing the purchase of one 3/4-ton 4 x 4 with snow plow and topper. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beyer and Peterson. Voting No: None.

She noted that the hockey rink was previously authorized and is effectively completed. The C.R. #116 trail is a part of the County Road #116/Trunk Highway//47 intersection improvement and the Emerald Pond park is still under review by the neighborhood and will come to a subsequent meeting for review. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to approve the Central Park improvements for 1996 and authorizing a request for bids on the field lighting and request for proposals on the balance of the budget, approve the Flintwood Terrace budget and authorize bids as presented and to approve the Titterud Park budget and authorize request for proposals for the budgeted work.

He requested a letter proposal for this work from both Hakanson Anderson Associates and MSA, Inc. He is recommending Hakanson Anderson be awarded the bid based on economic considerations.
