City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209`h St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Authorize sale 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.
• Staff recommended 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.
• The Council approved sale of the plow at its May 4 meeting. It
was advertised on the city web site and in League of Minnesota
Cities publications and web site.
� The manufacturer of the equipment, Little Falls Machine, Inc.,
sent a sales representative to look at the plow. They made a verbal
offer to purchase the plow. No other offers have been received as
of the date of this report. The deadline is 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday,
June 15.
Recommendation: I recommend that the Council approve the sale of the Falls V-90 plow
to the highest bidder. Proceeds of the sale will be deposited to the
Equipment Replacement Fund
