24 <br /> <br />Slide #40 <br /> <br /> Commissioner McKee asked about the cost of the lawnmower. <br /> David Stancil said this is $39,000. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked how the cost compares to a conventional mower. <br /> David Stancil said it is a zero-turn radius mower used for athletic fields. He said that <br />conventional could be $20,000 to $60,000, depending on the size of the deck. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he just got a commercial-grade, 60” deck for about $13,000. <br /> David Stancil said they have purchased a few in the last years and the last one was <br />$60,000. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he is all for going electric as long as it makes sense. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked what the life expectancy is for the electric lawnmower. <br /> David Stancil said he will have to check. <br /> Chair Bedford said it seems there is a large amount of money collected for Lands Legacy <br />and conservation easements. She asked who sets the rules of use and if they are allowed to use <br />any of it to help. <br /> David Stancil said that part of the CIP is the 3rd phase in 2028-2029 and that would be the <br />third installment for the stretch from Seven Mile Creek to Cane Creek Reservoir and will be the <br />most intricate part of all. He explained some of the costs associated with trail work including <br />privacy fences for adjoining landowners and signals, all items added to make the trail safe to hike <br />on.
