It can mow on steep slopes, ditches or wet areas where a mower can't <br /> normally go. <br /> Municipal Services Division will be selling its current mower, unit#438, a 2009 John Deere with a 24' boom <br /> mower,to the Decatur Park District for$50,000. <br /> The replacement mower is estimated to be delivered within 30 days. <br /> OTHER BIDDERS: EJ Equipment: $332,480.87, Brown Equipment: $283,400.00 <br /> LEGAL REVIEW: There are no contracts for Legal to review. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> None <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: There are no known objections. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br />
