McCrady, City Manager <br /> Ron Neufeld, Financial Management Director <br /> Deborah M. Perry, Purchasing Supervisor <br /> SUBJECT: Purchase of Outboard Motor <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends awarding contract to BRP US, Inc., <br /> to furnish one (1) E20ODHLIN 200 horsepower, 20" shaft, Evinrude outboard motor. <br /> BACKGROUND: The outboard motor will be used by Lake Services on a patrol boat.
