The mowers due for replacement require out-front mower decks. This forward position allows for trimming under trees. No Olathe vendors can provide this type of mower.
The mowers are being replaced as part of the regular replacement schedule as part of the 2019 budget. The mowers have paid $25,163 into the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund (VERF) through lease fees. VERF fund balance will cover the additional $37,922.
