ITEM 5: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
REQUEST TO DECLARE CERTAIN EQUIPMENT SURPLUS TO THE
NEEDS OF THE AUTHORITY AND TO AUTHORIZE SALE OR TRADE OF
SUCH EQUIPMENT.
Mr Lehr said that the OPGA purchased an Express Dual Reel Spin Grinder in September 1993.
It is an automatic grinder used to sharpen the reels of all of the mowers. In September 1996,
Mr McCall, golf course mechanic pointed out that a savings, as well as improved mowing
performance, could be realized using a manual grinder. The FY 1997-98 budget included funds
for the purchase of a used Foley 388 manual grinder. That grinder was purchased and has been
in use on the golf course since July 1997, improving the quality of the cut and extending the life
of the reels. The Express grinder has become surplus to the needs of the OPGA. Mr Cates has
advised that acceptable methods of disposing of the equipment would be by sealed bid, public
auction, or negotiated sale. The estimated value is $4500. The staff believes that the best
option is to advertise the availability of the equipment and then negotiate with interested parties.
Mr Wilken moved, seconded by Dr Bode, to declare the Bernhard Express Dual Reel Spin
Grinder surplus to the needs of the OPGA, and authorize the negotiated sale of the grinder for
cash or trade. He further moved that the equipment be publicly advertised for sale, that a
minimum price of $4000 be established, and that the details of any trade be approved by the
Trustees.
AYE: Wilken, Bode, Helm, Barnhouse
NAY: None
Motion carried 4-0.
