A.IHAT OF ONE FLAIL GANG LAWN MOWER
RECOMMENDED ACHON That the City Council approve the specifications
or one Jacobsen HR -15 Flail Crang Lawn Mower, and authorize purchase of
same from H. V. Carter Company, Sacramento, California.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On July 6, 1988, the City Council approved
Resolution 88-86 naming Jacobsen as the standard mowing equipment for
the Parks Department. The resolution also vaned H. V. Carter Cerny

The existing equipment which this mower will replace has logged over
4,300 hours of operation, and has become expensive and difficult to
repair and maintain.
