to retainer and reserving for the benefit of City, and to approve the 15’ water

8.
The Public Works Director has put the Tiger mower on
stand-down, preventing its use until safety concerns can be resolved. The Tiger
mower was recently involved in an incident resulting in property damage. The
incident prompted evaluation of the mower and what the City is using it for.
The City’s weed abatement program is intended to remove noxious weeds that are
unsightly, to trap debris and remove fire hazards. The Tiger mower was
purchased in approximately 1986 and has been used to cut down weeds within the
street right of way, ditch banks, road shoulder and City properties, within the
City limits. It is impractical to mow the weeds in these areas using handheld “weed
eaters”. Considering the age of the Tiger mower and the recent incident, it is
proposed that the City continue its weed abatement program and purchase a new
boom mower or sickle mower with up to date safety features. Estimated cost:
Boom arm and mower/sickle head $28,000, Tractor $42,256. This is an ‘Urgent
Need’ non budgeted item. All options for future use of the existing tractor
will be evaluated. Funding may need to be supplemented from the Capital
Improvement Fund. MOTION.
Councilmember Tatton moved to approve the mower purchase under a lease purchase
option and to evaluate alternatives for use of the old tractor before surplusing. Motion seconded by Councilmember Davis and
carried.

16. POOL-
Authorization to Approve Proposed Rate Increases for Age Group Swim Team and a
New System Proposal for Private Swimming Lessons
The
changes to the Pool have increased the swimming lesson participation. The base
rate that has been charged in the past is no longer covering expenses. The
proposed rate increase would help offset the program expenses. The Age Group
Swim Team fees would be $15.00 a month or 6 months for $85.00 or a 12-month
rate of $160.00. The season pass and $40.00 yearly fee would be eliminated. For
a patron purchasing a yearly pass, the total cost would change from $107 to
$160. The private swimming lesson fees would be $15.00 per 1 (one) hour lesson
per child, each additional child taught in the same hour would be $7.50. The
lessons could then be scheduled during the day as it works with the instructors
and patron’s schedules. The lifeguard would clock in and get paid their wage
for the lessons. MOTION.

for private swimming lessons. Motion seconded by Councilmember Hanna-Smith and
