Motion, Ayes (4 ) - Nays (Oj . <br /> Dick Benson, City AdiTtinistrator, presented the GOLF COURSE PURCHASE* <br /> following memo from John Gerhardson, Public Works Toro 70 Tee Mower <br /> Coordinator, dated July 16, 1979 , which states: <br /> The Orono Golf Course owns and operates a Toro <br /> 70 "Tee" mower. For the past two years, it has <br /> required an excessive amount of repair. We had <br /> hoped to keep it in running order for the 1979 <br /> season and budget for replacement in 1980 , but in <br /> the last two weeks ,the engine has frozen and I do <br /> not feel it is advisable to completely overhaul <br /> the engine when the rest of the machine is going <br /> to need a great deal of repair. <br /> Ron Steffenhagen has field tested two other brands <br /> of "Tee" mowers and has determined that the Toro 70 <br /> is best suited for our needs for the following <br /> reasons: <br /> l. Jacobsen makes a "Tee" mower but is too big <br /> a machine for our small tees. $4 , 000 <br /> 2. Hann also makes a "Tee" mower but the machine <br /> is too large and requires several adjustments <br /> of the cutting height to operate on our small <br /> "tees" . $7,500 <br /> For 1979 , $3,500 was budgeted for replacing the <br /> Cushman Truckster. But with the circumstances <br /> with the Toro 70 Tee mower, it is my recomr_idation <br /> to purchase a Toro 70 mower. <br /> Toro has a Tee r.iower that will suit our needs that <br /> sells for $2 ,500 and we can buy it for $2 , 150. <br /> The Golf Course has made one capital outlay expenditure <br /> in 1979 that being a rotary mower for $300. <br /> Council Meeting - July 24 , 1979 <br /> Mayor Van Nest moved, Butler seconded, to approve <br /> the purchase of a Toro "Tee" mower for $2 ,150. <br /> Motion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0) . <br />
