Title
Permission for Parks Dept. to purchase a new Trencher
Summary
Description of Topic: Gary Deisner, Parks Superintendent, is requesting permission to purchase a Groundsaw EZ 9100 model Trencher from E-Z Trench Co. for use in many of the Parks Dept. day to day projects. The amount of $5500 was budgeted for FY16 under the 01-611-7010 Capital Purchase account; however the quote for the Trencher is only $4995, including shipping. Because it will not be a Capital Purchase, Gary Deisner is also requesting a transfer of funds from the 01-611-7010 Capital Purchase account to the 01-611-5010 Small Tools Account, so he can purchase it under small tools.

Body
WHEREAS, the FY16 budget for the Parks Department includes the purchase of a trencher under account 01-611-7010 in the amount of $5500, and
WHEREAS, the quote obtained is only $4995; thereby making a Capital Purchase unneccesary. The quote also brought about the necessity to transfer funds from Capital Purchase Acct # 01-611-7010 to Small Tools Acct# 01-611-5010 towards the purchase of the trencher under the Small Tools Account.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Foley, Alabama, as follows:
SECTION 1: Authorizes the Parks Department to transfer $5500, designated in the FY16 budget Capital Purchase Account 01-611-7010 for the purchase of a trencher, into the Small Tools Account 01-611-5010 to go towards the purchase of a trencher.
SECTION 2: Approves the Parks Department purchase of a Groundsaw EZ9100 model Trencher from the E-Z Co. from E-Z Trench Co. under the Small Tools Account 01-611-5010 in the amount of $4995.
SECTION 3: This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption as required by law.
