Golf‑course irrigation replacement moves toward bid; district weighs buying a wood chipper
Summary
The irrigation replacement at Tall City Golf Course is ready to bid but will proceed without a recently denied outside funding source; staff also proposed surplusing two mowers and recommended a $40,000 chipper purchase pending a 10‑year cost‑benefit analysis to reduce rental costs.
Staff said the Tall City Golf Course irrigation replacement is set to go to bid and construct but that a sought outside funding source was not awarded, so the district will proceed without that grant. Staff reviewed ongoing drainage repairs, culvert replacements and a target to replace a bridge‑adjacent culvert if contractor availability allows.
Separately, staff proposed surplusing two end‑of‑life mowers and discussed buying a wood chipper (staff estimated approximately $40,000). Committee members asked for a cost‑benefit analysis comparing current rental and shipping costs against a purchase over a 10‑year horizon and emphasized shared use across departments if acquired.
