CI~ OF SAN BERNARDQo - REQUEOr FOR COUNCIL AC~N
STAFF REPORT
Each year~ the City must purchase weed eaters and lawnmowers to replace, replenish
and add to our stock. This year, because of the early browning of weeds along our
streets, rights-of-way and, especially, in the median strips, there are not enough
gas-powered commercial type weed eaters on hand. The same holds true for lawnmowers.
It is hereby requested that the Council authorile the Purchasing Agent to purchase
on an emergency basis, 12 gas-powered commercial weed eaters and 6, rotary, push
type 21" lawnmowers for the use of the Street Department crews. Immediately upon
purchasing the requested items, the crews will clean the rights-of-way and median
strips of noxious weeds and fire halards.
