This agreement modification will allow the Zone 7, Flood Control channel maintenance road

4.8Award of Bid for purchase of 2 Mini Pickup Trucks
The adopted 1995-96 budget provides for the purchase of pickup trucks for the City’s Public
Works Inspectors. One bid was received from Shamrock Ford. The low bid plus the cost of
City emblems and safety lights is expected to exceed the budgeted amount by $1,200.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve budget transfer of $1,200 and award purchase
order in the amount of $28,596.94 to Shamrock Ford
4.9Amendment to the Personnel System
Pursuant to the City’s Personnel System, certain designated positions are eligible for a
monthly car allowance, while other positions are eligible for direct mileage reimbursement.
Following the purchase of 2 City vehicles, the Public Works Inspectors will no longer require
a car allowance. In addition, due to the significant off-site demands of the position of Senior
Civil Engineer, it appears that it would be more cost effective for the City to designate this
position as eligible for a monthly car allowance and discontinue direct mileage reimbursement.
