AGENDA ITEM: Purchase of Bobcat Skid Steer (Unit 727)
Action Requested: MotionDiscussion Public Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution OrdinanceContract/Agreement Proclamation
Summary:
The City of Maplewood’s 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies the replacement of a
Bobcat skid steer. City Council approval is needed to move forward with this purchase.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve the purchase of a Bobcat Skid Steer and direct the Mayor and City Manager to
enter into a contract with Tri-State Bobcat under Sourcewell contract #020223 in the amount of
$59,846.52.
Fiscal Impact:
Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $59,846.52
Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source
Use of Reserves Other: The 2026-2030 CIP identifies $60,000 for
the replacement of a Bobcat skid steer. The cost for this purchase ($59,846.52) less the estimated
auction value for the old unit ($16,731) is $43,115.52. This is $16,884.48 less than the CIP amount.
The Finance Director has reviewed the fleet fund balance, and there are sufficient funds to move
forward with this purchase.
Strategic Plan Relevance:
SafetyMaintain and enhance infrastructure and environmental systems
Sustainability
Development Focus Area:
The new skid steer will be used throughout the year by the various divisions of Public Works to
maintain the City’s infrastructure.
Background:
The 2014 skid steer needs replacement. This piece of equipment is used year-round in all three
divisions of Public Works. This vital piece of equipment is used for multiple jobs, including loading
Council Packet Page Number 104 of 138
G5
trucks, excavation projects, warehouse forklifting, and snow removal. The old unit will be sent to
auction.
As part of the City’s asset management program, fleet assets use a Vehicle Replacement Rating
(VRR) score to reflect the current condition of vehicles and to establish priority of replacement. The
VRR score ranges from 0 to 30, where 0 is a brand-new vehicle, and 30 indicates the highest
priority for replacement. VRR scores are generated by rating a vehicle in six categories. These
categories include the age of the vehicle, usage (distance driven or time used), maintenance and
repair costs (excluding accident repairs), reliability (the frequency the vehicle is in the shop for
repairs), type of service the vehicle receives, and the condition based on the mechanic’s inspection.
Due to the heavy wear, use throughout the year, and a VRR rating of 18, this equipment is
recommended for replacement.
The cost for the skid steer from Tri-State Bobcat is $59,846.52.

Background:
The 2002 emergency by-pass pump is due for replacement. The city operates only one emergency
by-pass pump. The old pump’s age and high engine hours have increased the repair costs and
severely reduced its reliability. The new pump will help ensure the city can respond to pumping
emergencies more quickly and efficiently.
As part of the City’s asset management program, fleet assets use a Vehicle Replacement Rating
(VRR) score to reflect the current condition of vehicles and to establish priority of replacement. The
VRR score ranges from 0 to 30, where 0 represents a brand-new vehicle, and 30 indicates the
highest priority for replacement. VRR scores are generated by rating a vehicle in six categories.
These categories include the age of the vehicle, usage (distance driven or time used), maintenance
and repair costs (not including accident repairs), reliability (frequency the vehicle is in the shop for
repairs), type of service the vehicle receives, and the condition based on the mechanic’s inspection.
Due to the heavy wear and a VRR rating of 23, this equipment is recommended for replacement.
The cost for the emergency by-pass pump from Gary Carlson Equipment is $99,792.22.

SafetyMaintain and enhance infrastructure and environmental systems
Sustainability
Development
The new mower will be used throughout Maplewood’s park system to maintain recreation facilities
and open green spaces.

The 2013 park maintenance mower needs replacement. This mower is a piece of high wear
equipment and has high engine hours (3,157 engine hours). The high engine hours result in
frequent repairs making it no longer cost-effective to operate.

As part of the City’s asset management program, fleet assets use a Vehicle Replacement Rating
(VRR) score to reflect the current condition of vehicles and to establish priority of replacement. The
VRR score ranges from 0 to 30, where 0 represents a brand-new vehicle, and 30 indicates the
highest priority for replacement. VRR scores are generated by rating a vehicle in six categories.
These categories include the age of the vehicle, usage (distance driven or time used), maintenance
and repair costs (excluding accident repairs), reliability (the frequency the vehicle is in the shop for
repairs), type of service the vehicle receives, and the condition based on the mechanic’s inspection.
Due to the heavy wear and a VRR rating of 23, this equipment is recommended for replacement.
The cost for the Toro Groundsmaster 5900 from MTI Distributing is $131,350.68.

G8
Background:
The three park maintenance machines need replacement. These pieces are used year-round
throughout the park system and the City campus. Each John Deere 1580 machine is equipped with
mowing decks for turf maintenance. Two of the machines are equipped with snowblowers and one
machine is equipped with a broom to maintain sidewalks, trails, and ice rinks throughout the City
during winter months.
Due to high engine hours and frequent repairs, the machines are no longer reliable or cost-effective
to operate. The new machines will have increased horsepower, higher quality snow removal
attachments, and be equipped with tier 4 compliant emissions, reducing the impact on the
environment.
As part of the City’s asset management program, fleet assets use a Vehicle Replacement Rating
(VRR) score to reflect the current condition of vehicles and to establish priority of replacement. The
VRR score ranges from 0 to 30, where 0 represents a brand-new vehicle, and 30 indicates the

and repair costs (excluding accident repairs), reliability (the frequency the vehicle is in the shop for

Due to the heavy wear and an average VRR rating of 22, these pieces of equipment are
recommended for replacement.

AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance Amending Section 12-602 to Exempt Clergy Member Housing
from the Licensing of Rental Dwellings
Action Requested: MotionDiscussion Public Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution OrdinanceContract/Agreement Proclamation
Summary:
Rental housing licensing staff is proposing to amend the city code to state that properties exempt
from property taxation under Minnesota Statute, section 272.02, because they are used as church
parsonages, are exempt from the city’s rental licensing requirements.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve an ordinance amending Section 12-602 to exempt housing provided to clergy
members from the rental licensing requirements.
Fiscal Impact:
Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0.00
Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source
Use of Reserves Other: N/A
Strategic Plan Relevance:
SafetyStrenghten regulations and code compliance
Sustainability
Development
The proposed amendment ensures regulatory focus is placed on properties operating as rental
businesses, while still maintaining code compliance for all residential structures. This approach
reduces unnecessary administrative burden, clarifies enforcement priorities, and allows staff to
concentrate resources on properties with the greatest impact on public health and safety.
Background:
Rental housing licensing staff have identified an area within the city’s existing rental housing
licensing ordinance that technically requires clergy housing to be licensed as a rental dwelling. This
requirement is inconsistent with how other metropolitan cities regulate rental housing and was not
the intent when the city originally adopted this ordinance. The city attorney reviewed this issue and
Council Packet Page Number 125 of 138
G9
agreedthat the city’s ordinance should be amended to excludetax-exemptpropertiesused for
clergy housing.
The city attorney drafted the attached ordinance amendment, which updates Section 12-602 of the
city code to exempt housing provided to clergy members from the rental licensing requirement. This
exemption acknowledges that clergy housing is not operated as a traditional rental business and is
typically provided as part of an employee's compensation, rather than as a commercial transaction.
Staff would like to emphasize that clergy housing remains subject to the same property
maintenance requirements that apply to all properties in Maplewood. If an issue arises, the city can
implement its established code enforcement procedures.
