SHAKOPEE TO: Mayor and City Council 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.
