He explained it would help with the transport of Chlorine for the pool, millings to repair the walking path; it would serve as an aid in search and rescue, garbage pickup and general park use. Councilman Gier stated he looked into other options but found them unsuitable. Councilman Clark was against the purchase of the vehicle this year, and felt it should be budgeted for purchase in 2013. Councilman Borngraber stated he was in favor of the purchase this year. Supervisor Pero noted that this was simply an authorization to send out the RFP for quotes, not an approval for the actual purchase. Councilman Gier added that the use of the vehicle will require training and adherence to strictly enforced rules. Councilman Borngraber moved to approve the RFP, and was seconded by Councilman Gier.
