The new design of the Greens King IV also makes it more serviceable while maintaining the fea- tures that have made the Jacobsen Greens King the ultimate greens mower. The Greens King IV and one man can still give a smooth, beautiful cut to 18 average greens in less than 4 hours. But now, the Greens King IV even offers a maintenance free battery, 50% greater fuel capacity for fewer refueling stops, single rocker pedal for lifting and lowering reels, and a new "no clutch" traction pedal, just depress to travel at various speeds. Three levers, conveniently located on the con- sole, allow the operator to select all three reels together or in any combination for mowing flexibility. The problem of tire marks and compaction are eliminated with the Greens King IV because of the large 2-ply pneumatic tubeless tires which evenly distribute weight and reduce pressure on the green and the differential acting hydrau- lic drive. Cutting units are articulated, free to pivot and closely follow the path of the Greens King, which as- sures mowing accuracy and a smooth finish. Addi- tionally, the Greens King IV can be customized to meet your needs with a complete line of greens maintenance accessories.

Golf Car Distributors (Yamaha Cars) Pifer (E-Z-Go) Kubik (Columbia) Michigan Golf Cars (Club Car) Springfield Addison 4 Gas Cars 3-Electric Cars $ 9,580 $ 6,285 (1983 Model) (less 2%-20 days) (less 2%-20 days) 9,500 7,125 9,500 6,675 9,800 7,050 Staff recommends that we purchase the E-Z-Go cars for Springfield from Pifer, who is the second low bidder because we have a fleet of 55 E-Z-Go gas cars there now and we feel that it would be more feasible to have the same brand of cars for better maintenance and supply control. The actual unit price difference for the low bidder and the second low bidder is only $28 per car. Staff further recommends that we purchase the 3 electric cars for Addison from the low bidder, Golf Car Distributors. These electric cars will be used for light maintenance and placing travel trailers at Addison. Addison has exper- imented with using leased electric cars the last two years and were very sat- isfied with the results. In view of the above, staff recommends we split the bid and purchase the four gas cars from Pifer, the second low bidder, for a total price of $9,500 and the 3 electric cars from Golf Car Distributors for a total price of $6,285 less 2% for 20 days. There is $10,000 for Springfield and $7,500 for Addison in the Operating Equipment Budget. 17-1 ITEM #18 SPREADER SPRINGFIELD YOUTH ACTIVITIES CENTER Bids have been received for the purchase of a truck mounted sand spreader. This unit will be used on the back of an existing truck at the Springfield Youth Activities Center for improved maintenance of the roads and parking areas. During the winter it is often necessary to sand the roadway and parking area due to the buildup of snow and ice. This surface is gravel and cannot be salted as is the case with asphalt. This unit would also be available to spread salt or sand on other park facility roadways and parking areas. Currently, this work.is being done by hand. This spreader will perform the work faster and more uniformly than by hand. Bids received are as follows: Seco Products $2890. Universal Equipment 2595. Cyril Burke 1963. Scientific Brake 2258. Miller Equipment 2260. Shults Equipment 2400. Staff recommends awarding the purchase to the low bidder, Cyril Burke, for $1963. There is $2000 budgeted in the Operating Equipment Budget for the purchase. 18-1 PV350 SERIES clamp provides �+ for positive 10%Am W 47 % VqV w% n W% O-Fb A-& r-ra >" gate adjustment ensure free flow of material ""'"y ""`y 16" conveyor worm gear box with 10 ga. steel bottom Swenson V spreader.. ftqw�Nww- SwF.

As you will recall, you approved the 10o increase over last year's fees which raises them from $425 to $470 for the principal; $215 to $240 for the spouse and $110 to $120 for a student. ---Staff worked the Camper Show from February 10 to 19 and had a lot of contact and inquiries pertaining to the Oakland County Park System. Such a long show really gets boring after a while but the staff did a good job in representing the Commission. 22-1 u February 21, 1984 Mr. Lewis E. Wint, Chairman Oakland County Parks and Recreation Dear Mr. Wint: The "regular greens fee members" of White Lake Oaks would like to take the opportunity to thank you and the "Commission" members for your decision to continue memberships at White Lake Oaks. It is our understanding that even though the decision has been made to continue memberships, the cost of such memberships is yet to be established. Some of the members are apprehensive that the "Commission" while retaining memberships might raise the annual fees to a level which would discourage membership. With this in mind, we hope that membership fees will be compar- able to fees offered at other public gulf courses. For example, annual membership for husband and wife at Pontiac Country Club is $560.00 and $605.00 at Spring Lake Country Club. Thanking you in advance for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, White Lake Oaks Regular Members 22-2
