Resolution 19-143

The City of Monticello, Iowa

IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA

RESOLUTION #19-143

Resolution to approve of purchase of 2019 Ford One Ton Truck with V-Plow from Freese Motors and Dump Trailer from N & N Trailer Sales.

WHEREAS, the City Council has previously been advised of the need for a new Public Works Truck with plow and has also discussed the purchase of a dump trailer to use for yard waste and other purposes, and

WHEREAS, the Public Works Director has acquired a bid on a 2019 Truck with plow as well as a dump trailer, as follows:

  1. Truck with Plow: Freese Motors, Monticello          $51,000
  2. Trailer: N & N Trailer Sales, Monticello                   $  7,700

WHEREAS, the City regularly plows alleyways with an existing pickup and plow and said truck is in disrepair, based upon age and past use, and there is a need to replace said truck before this winter, and

WHEREAS, the City recently sold one of two garbage trucks and plans to sell the other in the not too distant future, the proceeds from the sale of these trucks being more than enough to cover the cost of the new pickup, plow, and trailer, and

WHEREAS, the council finds the proposed equipment and pricing to be appropriate and, therefore, finds that the equipment as indicated and as recommended by the P.W. Director for purchase should be approved for purchase.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby approve of the purchase of the 2019 Ford F350 with Stainless-Steel plow from Freese Motors in the amount of $51,000 and the Dump Box Trailer from N & N Trailer Sales in the amount of $7,700.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto.  Done this 7th day of October, 2019.

Brian Wolken, Mayor

Sally Hinrichsen, Monticello City Clerk
