<br />fiberglass gasoline storage tanks
<br />
<br />ordinance on first reading to appropriate
<br />the purchase and installation of four (4)

<br />
<br />$60,000 from
<br />10,000 gallon
<br />
<br /> This appropriation will provide the necessary funds for the installation and purchase
<br />of gasoline storage tanks at the City Garage. The City currently has reached an emergency
<br />condition in that several of the 4,000 gallon metal storage tanks have deteriorated to the
<br />point that they are nor=serviceable for gasoline. This project will provide us with the
<br />ability to maintain a minimum of 30 days operating supply, as well as provide a reserve
<br />for many of the vital services. The increased size of the tanks are being recommended in
<br />order ro provide the City with a 2 cents per gallon savings on the purchase of gasoline at
<br />the bulk rare, which is 8,000 gallons or more. Also, the two (2) 4,000 gallon tanks which
<br />remain serviceable will be converted for the storage of hydraulic oil and motor oil at a
<br />savings of 22 cents per gallon at the bulk rate. The City Manager recommends adoption on
<br />first reading."
