Equipment for Lake Poway and for Funds to Complete the City
Building Reroofing Project
BACKGROUND
Lake Poway's two gasoline boat motors, aluminum patrol boat,and a cash
register used in the Lake Poway Concession are used daily. Staff has
determined this equipment is no longer economical to repair and needs to be
replaced. The boat motors, patrol boat, and cash register assist staff in
providing a safe and efficient operation.
FIND INGS
In October 1994, the City's Vehicle Maintenance Operation evaluated boat
motors used at Lake Poway due to reports of excessive breakdowns and numerous
repairs. The motors had become unreliable in the operation of the lake
facil ity.
The motors were determined to be too expensive to make needed repairs and
parts for one of the motors were no longer available. The patrol boat motor
is a 25-horsepower motor with a replacement value of $2,350. The boat is used
for emergencies and patrolling the lake. The work boat motor is a 20-
horsepower motor with a replacement value of $2,230 and is used for hauling
trash and pulling boats, and is also used by the City's Public Services
Department for adding chemicals to the lake and testing the water.
The aluminum patrol boat was evaluated by lake staff and the City's Risk
Manager. The boat was found to have an extensive leak and major corrosion on
the bottom. It was concluded that the boat could not adequately be repaired.
The replacement value of the boat is $3,370. /.

The Lake Poway Concession cash register is a 20-year-old Sweda register with
parts that are no longer available. The register is currently in need of a
printer. The register also does not have the proper number of function keys
required for proper accounting of revenues. The replacement value of the cash
register is $860.
Funds for the Lake Poway equipment and the reroofing project may be
transferred from the Lake Poway weed harvester capital replacement account.
It will not be necessary to replace the weed harvester which has accumulated a
$19,800 replacement reserve.
The roofing project for various city buildings had an original budget of
$250,000. In the course of replacing the roofs, additional problems were
encountered such as termites and dry rot, increasing the costs of this
proj ect. An additional $11,000 appropriation from the capital replacement
fund will provide adequate funding for these repairs.
