John Deere Turf Tractor for the Parks division. A new Turf Tractor is needed to keep up with the
ongoing demands for services to maintain increased park maintenance and beautification

aging roof on the Activity Building. This building has several roof layers on it which all have

after a rain event. The funding source will be unassigned general fund balance.
14. Public Works Department — Wheeled Excavator*, $247,153. Appropriate funds to replace a
22-year-old Gradall. The Streets and Drainage Division within the Public Works Department is

16. Public Works Department — Brush Truck with Grapple and Chipper*, $222,990. Appropriate
funds to purchase a Brush Truck with Grapple and Chipper. The Public Works Department does
not currently have a brush truck, grapple loader, or chipper. Material hauling and tree/ brush
trimming have become a routine and almost daily tasks required of the Streets and Drainage
Division. During inclement weather events, aside of the contracted debris removal, the Streets
and Drainage is tasked with clearing and hauling away of debris from storm inlets, fallen trees,
and other debris that may be impeding traffic and storm water flow. The acquisition of a Brush
truck with a grapple and a chipper will play a vital part in addressing clean-up needs following the
majority of these tasks, and will critically assist in the clean-up of debris and will benefit all of
Public Works. The funding source will be unassigned general fund balance.
17. Parks & Recreation Department — Maintenance Truck with Service Body*, $46,600.
Appropriate funds to procure a new Maintenance Truck with Service Body for the Parks division.
The Parks Division is currently driving a 12-year-old vehicle from Animal Control Division that was

therefore, will be appropriated back.
20. Public Works Department — Advanced Meterinq Infrastructure (AMI), $9,073,656.

for the installation of the AM system and replacement of the water meters and their end point
