Award of Bids for Motor Grader for Street Department.
The City opened bids on September 4, 2019 for a replacement motor grader for the Street Department.
Staff has reviewed all the bids and recommend approval of the 2019 John Deere 622GP Motor Grader (with
joy stick controls) from RDO Equipment of Marshall, Minnesota. This unit meets all minimum specifications.
RDO also bid a unit without joy stick controls for $17,015.00 less, but staff feels the additional expense will
provide a more comfortable, user-friendly unit for the department. All other units bid did not meet minimum
specifications.
The existing 1984 CAT 140 Motor Grader (approximately 13,000 hours) will be listed on Purple Wave auction
with an estimated value of $30,000.00.
The approved 2019 Street Department budget included $260,000 for the purchase of a replacement motor
grader from the Capital Equipment Fund (#401-60211-5550).
Motion made by Councilmember Lozinski, Seconded by Councilmember Decramer that the Council authorize
the purchase of a new 2019 John Deere 622GP Motor Grader with Wing for the Street Department from RDO
Equipment of Marshall, Minnesota in the amount of $280,756.00, and declare the existing 1984 CAT 140
Motor Grader as surplus equipment. Voting Yea: Mayor Byrnes, Councilmember Schafer, Councilmember

Ratification of Purchase of Vehicles for the Community Planning Department.
The City opened bids on September 4, 2019 for a replacement of two vehicles (1 pick-up and 1 SUV) for the
Community Planning Department.
After review of the bids, staff is recommending the award of new 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab Pick-Up
with 6.5’ Box for the Community Planning Department from Lockwood Motors of Marshall, Minnesota, in the
amount of $23,476.86, including tax and $1,500.00 trade-in of the existing 2003 Chevrolet 4WD Regular Cab
and 8’ Box, and a Soft Rolling Tonneau Cover for an additional $525 installed.
After review of the bids, staff believes it is better to award a new 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab Pick-Up
with 6.5’ Box, without trade-in, instead of the low bid SUV in the amount of $25,074.36, including tax, and a
Soft Rolling Tonneau Cover for an additional $525 installed.
The City would then sell the 2005 Chevrolet Impala with approximately 105,000 miles on the Purple Wave
Auction site as staff believes we could receive more than the $500 trade-in offer.
On Friday, September 6, 2019, staff was notified by Lockwood Motors that in order to provide the 2019 Dodge
Ram as bid on September 4, 2019, the final order date for these vehicles is September 6, 2019. Any vehicles
ordered after that date will be a 2020 model with a significant increase in cost (approximately $4,000-$5,000
per vehicle).
As the deadline date for ordering was Friday, September 6, staff directed Lockwood’s to proceed with ordering
the vehicles and the cost would increase significantly after said date, we are requesting the Council ratify the
purchasing decision.
The approved 2019 Community Planning budget includes approximately $50,000 available for the purchase of
these vehicles from the Capital Equipment Fund (#401-60164-5550).
The total cost of both vehicles, including tax, and purchase of covers is $49,601.22. This amount would be
reduced by the sale of the 2005 Chevrolet Impala.
Motion made by Councilmember Schafer, Seconded by Councilmember Decramer that the Council reject all
bids for the SUV and ratify the purchase of a 2 new 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab Pick-Ups with 6.5’ Boxes
for the Community Planning Department from Lockwood Motors of Marshall, Minnesota, in the amount of
$49,601.22. Voting Yea: Mayor Byrnes, Councilmember Schafer, Councilmember Bayerkohler, Councilmember

City of Marshall Residential Recycling Direction
Mayor Byrnes opened the item as an informational item to discuss possible direction of the City to take in the
event that Lyon County does not continue with curbside recycling. Mayor Byrnes urged that this is a County
issue, but City needs to be ready to step in if necessary. There was continued discussion by the Council in favor
of curb side recycling as well as a consensus to write and submit a letter to Lyon County Board to continue
curb side recycling in Lyon County.
Consider approval of 2019-2020 League of Minnesota Cites Insurance Trust Property/Casualty and Liability
Insurance.

will be in attendance to review the renewal and coverage in greater detail.

Consider Approval of General Banking Agreement
State Statutes requires that the City designates general depositories for the City funds. The Council approves a
resolution designating official general depository each year.
The Office of State Auditor put out a Statement of Position on Deposit of Public Funds, which encourages cities
to re-examine and re-evaluate banks into which they place public funds. Staff has done this process beginning
in February of this year and compared rates and services.
It is the desire of staff to add the service of a virtual vault, this would include a physical vault at our Liquor
Store. The purpose is to increase the level of controls, reduce risk and create efficiencies and safety for staff.
The interest earnings and rates offered by Bremer were overall a better option for the city. The added service
of the virtual vault is more beneficial to the city as well, through Bremer Bank. Staff have full support from the
Ways and Means Committee.

Project Z70-2: South High Street/South Whitney Street (100 & 200 Block) Alley Improvement Project – 1)

South High Street, between the north line of East Marshall Street and the south line of East College Drive.

project.
Property owners are responsible for the costs of installation of private storm sewer services to their property.
At the informational meeting on September 9, 2019, the individual costs were explained to the property
owners in attendance. The property owners were given a week to decide whether or not they wanted to go
ahead with the contract costs for the installation of the private storm sewer services. Two property owners
have already decided to not proceed with their storm sewer services. Actual installations will be revised prior

the project award with contingencies and engineering is slightly different than the total amount of the
assessment roll.

contingencies and 16% for engineering and administrative costs, for a total revised project cost of $44,302.31.

Authorization for Bike Trail Repairs Between Highway 59 North and 7 th Street
This section of bike path is subject to frequent flooding and sediment accumulation due to high water flows
through the diversion channel. Prior to this spring’s flooding this section of trail was in need of an asphalt
overlay and staff believes that because of frequent flooding issues that a portion of this trail should be
concrete instead of asphalt. Quotes were received from 2 concrete contractors and 2 asphalt contractors. The
low quote for concrete is from Hisken Construction Inc. in the amount of $14,985.00. The low quote for
asphalt is from Duininck Inc. in the amount of $150 per ton of asphalt mix plus $800 mobilization charge. Staff
is estimated 110 ton of mix will be need to overlay the portion of the trail that isn’t concrete.
The estimated total cost of concrete and asphalt is $32,285. City staff will complete the removal of existing
asphalt and placing base material if needed. Some of these repairs may be subject to reimbursement from
Spring Flooding damage declaration. $100,000 is included in this year’s Park’s Budget for Bike Trail
Improvements.
$32,285 to be paid from fund 101-70276-2227 (General Fund-Parks-Imp Other).

Consider Amendments to Ordinance Section 54-3 – Special Assessment Deferral
Currently ordinance section 54-3 Special Assessment Deferral does not include active deployed military as
eligible for a special assessment deferral.
Per Minnesota State Statute 435.193 Hardship Assessment Deferral for Seniors, Disabled, or Military Persons
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, any county, statutory or home rule charter city,
or town, making a special assessment may, at its discretion, defer the payment of that assessment for any
homestead property:
(2) “owned by a person who is a member of the Minnesota National Guard or other military reserves who is
ordered into active military service, as defined in section 190.05, subdivision 5b or 5c, as stated in the person's
military orders, for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments.
This amendment would bring our current ordinance into state statute compliance for an eligible person to
qualify for an assessment deferral. The second amendment of the ordinance is changing net income to
household income to better clarify the income requirement. This change was at the recommendation of the
Legislative & Ordinance Committee. At the July 22 Legislative & Ordinance Meeting the committee
