Title
A Resolution to Rescind Resolution 21-1093, to Reappropriate Funds, and to Approve Four Capital Purchases in Street Department.
Summary
The Street Department requests to rescind Resolution 21-1093, because we are unable to obtain the trucks due to COVID-19, which caused a shortage of employees and lack of production. Instead, the Street Department is requesting those funds be reappropriated towards the purchase of much needed equipment.

There are three quotes for mowers, but for a few reasons we request to purchase the SCAG Mower, though it is the high bid : 1) the Gravely mower, which is the lowest bid, has an unknown delivery date, but the SCAG mower is ready now. 2) the SCAG mower has a better quality, bigger motor, and more HP than either of the other mowers; and 3) the blade cutting width on the SCAG mower is 1 inch wider than the other two mowers.
