FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2015
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE EMERGENCY
PURCHASE OF GOLF TURF
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider adopting a resolution authorizing and ratifying the emergency
purchase of turf for the golf course that was made from Trinity Turf Nursery, Inc.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 210-43355-210-9 (Recreation
Facilities Maintenance flood related) in the amount of $25,863.75.
BACKGROUND:
This turf is to be used for sodding the areas where the silt from the flood was deposited
onto the golf course as well as tee boxes that were lost from the flood waters and silt.
Because the September 1 meeting was cancelled, in an effort not to lose two additional
weeks of peak growth time, an emergency purchase order was issued to Trinity Turf
Nursery, Inc. for golf turf on August 28, 2015.
Staff recommends approval.
