FROM: Jamie Polley, Parks & Recreation Director
DATE: 04/21/2015
SUBJECT: Acceptance of TORO Giving Program Product Donation, Resolution
No. 7572. (D)
Action Sought
The City Council is asked to adopt Resolution No. 7572, A Resolution of the City
of Shakopee, Minnesota, Accepting a TORO Centennial Giving Program Product
Donation (TORO Reel Master) from The TORO Company.
Background
In March of 2014 the City Parks and Recreation staff applied for a product donation
of a Reel Master for Schleper Stadium through the TORO Centennial Product
Donation Program. The purpose of this request was to replace the Reel Master that
was currently at Schleper Stadium and in need of repair. The mower that had been
used at the stadium was a used mower purchased and maintained by the Baseball
Associations that utilize the stadium. The request of the Reel Master is also a great
addition to the Park's Department's fleet and will be utilized on other ball fields as
desired.
TORO awarded the donation request in July of 2014, but postponed delivery of the
donation until a later date due to product availability. In late November, TORO had
the product available and proceeded with delivery of a Reel Master Model 3170. It
is valued at approximately $30,000.
Relationship to Vision
D —Maintain, improve, and create strong partnerships with other public and private
sector entities.
Requested Action
If the City Council concurs, it should, by motion adopt Resolution No. 7572, A
Resolution of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota, Accepting a TORO Centennial
Giving Program Product Donation (TORO Reel Master) from The TORO Company.
