<br />Request Permission to Advertise for Bids on Refuse Truck.

<br />memorandum dated November 27, 1974, together with specifications for a front end loader, 30
<br />cubic yard capacity, and combination front end loader and roll -off contained unit, request-
<br />ing permission to advertise for bids for this equipment.
<br />Mr. Young advised that the combination front end loader can be used as a dual unit, Staff
<br />has seen this particular unit in operation, it will fit the City's needs on commercial
<br />routes, and it.will enable the City to take care of larger capacity bins.
<br />Councilman Rehrer questioned whether or not the City needs to get involved with a combination
<br />unit at this time.
<br />Mr. Young advised that there are several businesses in town that have this type of equipment
<br />in use, and with future growth and development in Colton, the City will really need this kind
<br />of machine.
<br />Additional discussion followed among Council members and Staff regarding the justification
<br />of purchasing this type of equipment, as outlined by Staff, at the present time or at a
<br />future date.
<br />Councilwoman Spragins stated that if the combination front end loader can be used now, and
<br />will be used more extensively later, it might be better to purchase this equipment now, as
<br />the cos t , wil l no doubt be much-- higher later. Mrs. Spragins said if it is financially
<br />possible, she would be in favor of bidding on the equipment as outlined by Staff for $50,000.
<br />On motion of Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Hayes and unanimously passed, Council
<br />authorized Staff to advertise for bids on a front end loader and a combination front end load-
<br />er and roll -off container for the refuse truck, with final determination of the best bid to
<br />be made by the City Council.

<br />the commissioners requested that the City purchase the four portable back stops from the
<br />$15,000 that the Council has budgeted for Capital Outlay.
<br />Mr. Young reported the majority of the $15,000 is involved with the monies coming from the
<br />State Park Bond issue, however, the amount for the back stops, $2,900, can be transfered
