Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Minutes July 16, 2019 <br />E. Grant Application: Municipal Stormwater Capacity Building <br />Staff is seeking Committee approval to apply for $95,000 in funding from the 2019-2021 Municipal <br />Stormwater Capacity -Building program from the Department of Ecology. All projects must support <br />compliance with stormwater permit programs as outlined in the 2019-2024 NPDES Western <br />Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. <br />F. Capital Purchase: Snow and Ice Response Equipment <br />Staff is seeking Council approval to purchase a 10,000-gallon salt brine storage tank with pump, <br />325-gallon anti -ice sprayer, 2-cubic yard poly sander, and 8-foot plow in the amount of $52,264.30. <br />Financial Policy FP-7 requires Council approval for unbudgeted capital purchases between $5,000- <br />39,999.00 Staff determined after the February 2019 storms that winter operations would be more <br />efficient and reliable with a salt brine storage tank on site. This would eliminate multiple trips to <br />SeaTac and save approximately $4,992 by reducing response times. The anti -ice sprayer, sander <br />and plow would be used to equip a maintenance truck to remove snow and ice from City facilities. <br />Chair Idan requested that future capital purchases include a more detailed cost -benefit analysis. <br />UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
