Minutes:

The Leisure Manager presented his report seeking authority to purchase a nearly new all-terrain park utility vehicle to support the day-to-day work of the Cobtree Manor Park Team.  It was noted that:

 

Since 2014 the Team had used a second hand golf buggy to access the site and complete routine tasks.  The golf buggy had not been modified for maintenance or utility work and it had not been possible to use the vehicle due to the ground conditions following the winter rainfall.

 

A utility vehicle was a key piece of equipment.  It enabled the Park Rangers to access all areas of the Park quickly, to transport tools and materials with them, and to complete tasks efficiently and effectively.

 

Quotations had been obtained for more suitable vehicles and trade in quotations for the existing golf buggy.

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.  That budgetary spend of £9,500 be approved for the purchase of a nearly new all-terrain park utility vehicle.

 

2.  That delegated authority be given to the Head of Regeneration and Economic Development, in consultation with the Chairman of the Committee, to agree the final expenditure on the vehicle should the cost be above £9,500.
