City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: March 11, 2024
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Melanie Hauze, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Resolution 2024-017: Authorizing The City Manager To Purchase A
New John Deere Gator HPX815E From Craig Taylor Equipment For A
Total Of $26,362.03 With A 10% Contingency And Appropriating Funds
Background and justification:
The Parks and Recreation department is tasked with paid parking enforcement and would like to procure
a utility vehicle for more efficient navigation between North, South, Center, and the Uplands parking
lots.
Previously we used two (2) electric vehicles purchased in 2009. After years of use, the electric cars
became outdated and parts became very expensive to replace. These two (2) vehicles were sold in surplus
sale in 2023. The necessity for more efficient navigation is derived from the monetary increase directly
correlated to 100% parking compliance.
A parking utility vehicle will also aid in transport, installation, and removal of heavy pay stations and
materials associated with pay stations. Parking attendants will be required to physically surveil 678 paid
parking spaces within the North, South and Uplands parking lots to ensure dues have been paid as well
as another 94 spaces in the Center lot to ensure no one has violated the two (2) hour parking allowance.
The volume of spaces requires efficient movement between lots. The funds are available in the parking
fund.
