SUBJECT: Council Resolution No. 2011 -18
This correspondence is in support of a Resolution seeking Council approval of a budget transfer
in the amount of $9,213.01 from Parks (Improvements Other than Buildings) and Parks (Repair
and Maintenance) to Parks Machinery and Equipment. Monies will be used for the purchase of
a used, 4- wheeled LM42 vibratory plow.
The department will be installing underground irrigation systems in the near future. The use of
a vibratory plow will enhance the department's ability to perform this task quicker and more
efficiently. A vibratory plow is also far less invasive to the turf by minimizing backfilling and
scarring.
These funds are available for this transfer and we will have sufficient funds left over in the
respective accounts for the remainder of the Fiscal Year. I have identified $3,386 remaining
from the Leif Hansen Memorial Park sidewalk project and the Ryan Creek fencing project.
Additionally, the Kenai Park Strip shelter will not require sandblasting this season which is
estimated to be around $5,500.
