REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />DATE: May 11, 1999 <br />ITEM NO.; 3 <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Gregory A. Gappa <br />Report <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Administrator's <br />Item Description: Sale of Water Pressure Tank <br />The City of Monticello has submitted an offer to purchase the second water pressure tank from <br />the Highway 12 water plant for $4,000. The plant was constructed before the new water tower <br />and used an air compressor and two pressure tanks to pressurize the system. With the construction <br />of the water tower, the pressure tank system is no longer needed. Also, the water system <br />interconnection with the City of Long Lake may be used to pressurize the system if water tower <br />repair or maintenance is necessary. The City of Medina purchased the flrst tank several years ago, <br />and the air compressor has been moved to the Navarre water plant for operation of the new <br />automatic air control valves. <br />The first tank was purchased by the City of Medina several years ago for $4,000. The City code <br />requires that the Council declare the tank surplus property and that an advertisement for bids be <br />placed in the official newspaper. An ad for bids was placed and only one bid, from the City of <br />Medina was received. <br />We are recommending that the Council declare the water pressure tank, from the Highway 12 <br />plant, water plant surplus property and authorize advertising for bids for sale of the tank. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to declare the water pressure tank, from the Highway 12 water plant, surplus property and <br />authorize advertising for bids for sale of the tank.
