City Counc�l Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209`h St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Authorize staff to sell 1989 Falls Model V-90 Plow.
Deadline/ Timeline: N/A
Background: • The city has been storing a V-plow attachment for the road grader
in the former public works building for a number of years. It has
not been used for at least 12 years, if not longer. Public Works
staff sees little chance that it will be used in the future. At one
time, it would have been useful for large snow removal events;
however, the newer dump truck/plow combinations can do much
the same job. The plow is in good condition.
• We are recommending disposal of this equipment in order to free
space in the building for other storage and work space needs.
• The city's purchasing policy(Resolution No. 07-15-08-02)
requires City Council approval before staff may dispose of any
surplus property or equipment valued at $100.00 or greater. The
method of disposition must be approved by the Council at the time
they determine that the item may be disposed of.
• We have contacted the manufacturer of the equipment, Little Falls
Machine, Inc. They sent a sales representative to look at the plow,
and they will be contacting us shortly to let us know if they are
interested in purchasing it.
• We would advertise the plow on the city web site and in League of
Minnesota Cities publications and web site.
Recommendation: I recommend that the Council authorize staff to advertise and sell the
Falls Model V-90 plow at the best price offer received by June 1,
2010.
Attachments/ • None
