CAWG recommends funding for Unbudgeted request from DPI for Plow/Salter  
for Gator at a cost not exceed $10,000.  
22-0204  
Attachments: CAWG request for Gator upgrade.pdf  
D. Koski is requesting approval to add attachments to the gator currently being  
used to water flowers and then be also utilized in the winter. It would work on  
the narrow roads in Evergreen Cemetery and narrow alley ways. The Gator  
would then be stored at the Cemetery during winter and at DPW during  
summer.  
Ald. Brey asked if the Gator was originally purchased for watering flowers only,  
would adding the additional duties reduce the lifespan of the Gator. D. Koski  
feels it is capable of doing this extra work as it was built for more than watering  
flowers.  
A motion was made by Tim Boldt, seconded by Chad Beeman, that the request to  
purchase the attachments for the Gator be approved for consent agenda. The  
motion carried by the following vote:  
5 - Brunner, Brey, Czekala, Beeman and Boldt

something comes up with the City needing to utilize the rented room. D. Koski
