item that is out now is not even available and would have to
be fabricated from raw metal . In looking for a remedy for
this dilemma , we discovered a gentleman in the area who
actually desires our motorgrader and is willing to take our
unit in trade and give us a unit that is approximately seven
years old . We have worked with this unit for approximately
two weeks and find it to be satisfactory . This swap can be
arranged for approximately $4000 . 00 which is about 1/3 of
the estimate of the cost to repair our old unit . Staff
recommends this purchase to council . Again there was some

emipment . Motion was made by Councilman Gaston to approve
