Mayor Donchess

Anyone else. Madam Clerk, could you please call the roll?
Mr. Ibarra

Alderman O’Brien had a question it looked like.

Mayor Donchess

Oh Alderman O’Brien, I’m sorry.

Alderman O’Brien

Yeah and to Mr. Ibarra, are we talking about the boom truck?
Mr. Ibarra

That will be the next motion | believe. This could be the chip truck.

Alderman O’Brien

OK, yeah, then I’ll hold my question to the boom truck then, thank you.

Mr. Ibarra

You’re welcome.

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess
And just one additional thing so then the amended CERF comes to the Board of Aldermen during the budget

and you approve the amended group of — you know the amended list of equipment purchases. So it isn’t
something that is done just internally, it gains Aldermanic improvement at the end of the day.

Alderwoman Lu

If | could just follow up? One question that led me to wonder is | know that during our process of it’s not
encumbrance..

Mayor Donchess
Escrows.
Alderwoman Lu

Mr. Ibarra
Thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Alderwoman Lu?
Alderwoman Lu

Thank you. Just a question, you mentioned that this was a deferred CERF item and | am just trying to
understand, does that mean it wasn’t purchased last year even though it was on the schedule?

Mr. Ibarra

Mr. Ibarra

So this is a ballfield groomer, it’s a little tractor that is used at Park & Rec, they do maintain 39 baseball and
softball fields throughout the City. Basically it’s just an older tractor so they are looking to replace it. It has got
almost 4,000 hours on it. | believe they intend to keep this one and run it until it's not feasible to put any more
funding into it. So they will be able to maintain the ball fields.

Mayor Donchess

Questions, comments? | don’t see anyone.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

| have one.
Mayor Donchess
Oh Alderwoman Harriott-Gathright.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

So this a new vehicle? What were we using prior to this?
Mr. Ibarra

This will be used for plowing, the new vehicle. This was a two wheel drive pickup that’s being replaced. So it
was upgraded but within the budget of the CERF and that will be used for plowing moving forward.

Mr. Hudson

That’s a fair question. | don’t believe the unit records hours, | am just going to tell you (inaudible background
noise) about 10 years, so | think we’ve gotten good use out of it and it continues to be used but | start to worry
(inaudible background noise).

Alderman Klee

I’m sorry, somebody is not muted.
