The cost of the tractor is $8,200 or $7,138 with the trade-in. $10,000 has been budgeted in 1977 for a tractor for Stanley Park. Director of Public Works Van Horn stated that a diesel tractor would require outside maintenance whereas a gasoline tractor could be maintained in-house. Also, a new gasoline tractor (same model as the diesel) could be obtained for $10,700 through an equipment company or for considerably less through the Division of Local Government if John Deere received the state bid. Purchasing a new tractor through the Division of Local Government, however, would not include a trade-in and would take several months but the Committee recommends researching this possibility further since timing is not urgent. CURB CUTS - STATHAM - LOT 8, DEVILLE SUBDIVISION: The Committee reconsidered Dick Statham's request for two 12' curb cuts onto Woodstock Drive from lot 8, DeVille Subdivision which was tabled at the last Committee meeting. Further information was pro- vided showing the east driveway 65' from the east property line and the west curb cut 10' from the west property line. There will be 116' distance between the two curb cuts and approximately 70' between the west curb cut and the closest curb cut of the lot adjacent to it on the west. The Committee recommends both curb cuts be approved. PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING RETAINING WALL/BOUNDARY DISPUTE: Frank Williams has threatened to tear down the retaining wall for the Public Works Building if it is built closer than 4' to his property line. Any legal action against Mr. Williams would cost the Town $2,000 to $3,000 which is more than the four foot strip of land is worth. The Committee recommends constructing the wall four feet from the property line. POLICE DISPATCH ROOM - CARPETING: The Police Department has requested carpeting for the Police Dispatch room because the tile flooring allows too much noise which interferes with recordings. Because of the tremendous amount of traffic in the room, the Committee recommends obtaining an indoor/outdoor carpet and that it be taped down for easy replacement. STREET NUMBER SIGNS: The Committee recommends not requiring at this time that street numbers be displayed on each building. BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO., DENVER RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee December 16, 1976 Page Two (2) ENGINEERING -MANAGEMENT SCHOOL: The Committee recommends the Director of Public Works be allowed to attend an engineering and management school sponsored by the University of Denver on January 26, 27, and 28, 1977. ELEVATOR MAINTENANCE: Correspondence has been received from Montgomery Elevator Company and Floyd Reister of DMJM-Phillips•Reister, Inc. regarding elevator main- tenance. Floyd Reister stated that most metropolitan areas have an ordinance requiring all elevators installed to include a maintenance agreement. He also stated that even though it is not stipulated in the agreement, the Town's liability is much better with a maintenance agreement, and that the life of the elevator system, especially the electrical parts, is greatly enhanced. Montgomery Elevator Company . recommended as a minimum a bi-monthly preventative maintenance service agreement at a cost of $367/year. The Committee recommends a bi-monthly maintenance agreement at the above stated cost. REPORTS: A. DUMP TRUCK - Delivery date for the new dump truck is expected to be mid or late January, 1977. B. PUBLIC REST ROOMS - The East Riverside rest rooms remodeling is 95% complete. C. BIKE AND WALKWAYS - Another 1 mile has been completed on the South Saint Vrain bike and walkway project. The Town will send a bill to Larimer County for the remaining portion of the original $15,000 greenbelt grant. D. RETAINING WALL ON MORAINE AVENUE - The retaining wall which was damaged in the July 31, 1976 flood has been completed and will be backfilled shortly. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. Joan!Van Horn, Secretary JAP 11 1977 TU:.
