Chief Administrative Office, Parks Division recommending the Board authorize the addition of tracks for the razor for the Rubicon Trail Program to the Parks Fiscal Year 2017-18 fixed asset list at an approximate cost of $12,500, and authorize the Division to purchase the fixed asset prior to the adoption of the final FY 2017-18 Budget in September.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Tracks for the razor were included on the FY 2016-17 fixed asset list. Tracks were purchased but were too heavy for the razor and had to be returned. An alternative, lighter track has been identified. However the replacement track was not able to be purchased in time for a June 30, 2017 delivery. Therefore the fixed asset needs to be carried over and re-budgeted in FY 2017-18. The tracks must be ordered by August 31, 2017 prior to the expiration of the grant in order to be funded with the grant funds.
Tracks are needed for winter inspections that are required per the easement agreement with the Forest Service which was signed on August 14, 2012.
ALTERNATIVES
If the tracks are not ordered, funding would be lost and we would have to try and secure funding in the future. Without these tracks inspections may not be completed.
