Fred Blanch has offered his services as an alternate to provide the <br />benefit of his background. <br />Hurr moved, Jabbour seconded, to appoint Fred Blanch to a one -year term as an <br />alternate member to the Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission, effective <br />• September 23, 1996. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />( #17) FOOD -GRADE HYDRAULIC FLUID FOR FLOOR HOISTS IN PUBLIC <br />WORKS BUILDING <br />Moorse reported that the request is to change the fluid used in the hydraulic floor hoists <br />located in the Public Works Building from a petroleum based fluid to a food grade fluid. <br />The hydraulic fluid is considered a hazardous material and could require a costly clean up <br />if spilled or leaked. The alternate fluid is vegetable oil which is not hazardous. <br />Jabbour said the food grade should have been used from the beginning. <br />Callahan asked what costs are involved once it is in. Moorse said the cost is $2785 to <br />take out the old and put in the new fluid. No ongoing costs are involved. Callahan asked <br />the Staff to take caution in the removal of the hydraulic fluid so no contamination occurs. <br />Moorse said caution will be taken. The work is to be performed by T &T Maintenance. <br />Hurr moved, Jabbour seconded, that in order to prevent potential soil and groundwater <br />contamination, the Public Works Department is authorized to remove petroleum -based <br />hydraulic fluids from the floor hoists and replace it with food -grade hydraulic fluid at a <br />cost not to exceed $2,785, and that the budget of the Building Capital Outlay Fund be <br />adjusted to reflect these expenditures.
