Co(le the City" Council to standards e on specific suppi e -s,
sorv.ices and equipment. Since the City- has to add only four (1) Light,
Utility Vehicles and since our current in",entory includes primr,ri.ly the
Cushman Vehicle, it it recommended that the City standardize on the
I..ight Utility Vehicle-anufactured by the. Cushman Corporation.
For the Council's information, the Public t -Torics Department has already
standardized some of their purchases for essentially these same reasons.
