one hundred ten thousand dollars ($110,000.00) plus transport. Motion carried. The unit
will be delivered in April or May of 2011.
Consider Used Small Paver Quotes: Loney noted that our staff viewed a used small paver
that would have fit our needs, however it was sold to another party. He explained that
equipment of this nature is in high demand and that we would need to act quickly if we find
another suitable unit. It was the consensus of the Committee that, if we find a used small
paver that is suitable and within the amount previously approved by the Committee, staff
can act on the purchase with the approval of Rebholz.

from Tri -State Bobcat of Hudson, WI. He explained that the model we approved is not
