The Buildings and Grounds Department has a disc mower that has been in disrepair and laying dormant for a
minimum nf5years that employees can remember, Apparently it was determined that the cost ofrepair
would exceed the value of the mower and a replacement mower was purchased at that time. I see no need
for two mowers ofthis type within the department and the derelict unit istaking upspace atthe Maintenance
Barn, I would like to recommend we list this piece as surplus equipment and put it out to bid "as is", I would
request that any monies received in this sale be placed in "Tractors" 711O�419
Also, snoupha weeks ago we sent load of accumulated scrap metal to Charles Effron Recycling which
netted a payment of $70. This check was turned over to Frederick Awino, Town Accountant and deposited to
the General Fund- I request that this amount also be transferred to "Tractors' 71 10419,
Thank you,
