RE: Budget Amendment ($3,000)
BACKGROUND
The Museum's Delta table saw, used for exhibition construction and other general tasks, is
over 20 years old. It does not always hold the tolerance necessary for fine exhibition work, and
it is not a safety model. In considering a replacement saw, the Museum preferred to upgrade
to a saw that included "safety stop" technology that instantly stops the blade should it
encounter soft tissue. Due to cost, a table saw was not included as part of the 2019 budget. The
Museum Auxiliary made a$3,000 grant to enable the Museum to purchase a saw.
ANALYSIS
The Museum's table saw is used almost daily and receives heavy use during times of
exhibition construction. A table saw capable of precision cuts is an essential piece of
equipment and due to age and wear, the Museum's saw needs replacement. The Museum
prefers to replace its saw with one that incorporates safety technology. As with any piece of
cutting machinery, the use of a table saw poses the possibility for injury. The use of safety stop
technology could prevent a serious injury or loss of fingers to the user.
FISCAL IMPACT
The $3,000 grant from the Auxiliary pays for the new saw.
RECOMMENDATION
Amend the 2019 budget to reflect the $3,000 grant from the Auxiliary and the purchase of the
table saw with safety stop technology.

RE: Approve Amendment to 2019 Operation Budget—Street Tree Planting Fund
BACKGROUND
In November 2018 the Common Council adopted the 2019 budgets. At that time,no grant expenses were
anticipated for the Street Tree Planting Fund. This account is used to accept grants, donations and
sponsorships to support the planting of trees and is essentially a designated donation account. In March
of 2019, the City of Oshkosh was approved by 1000 Friends of Wisconsin to receive a tree planting grant
in the amount of$18,000 to increase tree plantings throughout the community.
ANALYSIS
The Forestry Division has been pursuing tree planting grant funds from a variety of sources and has
requested funding to plant diverse tree species throughout the community to better protect the City tree
inventory from species-specific pests and disease. The 1000 Friends of Wisconsin grant is part of a US
Forest Service initiative to increase tree planting throughout the Great Lakes Basin. This grant is not
currently shown in the Operating Budget. Project expenses will be paid from this account.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact of this budget amendment is $18,000.00 which includes the grant from 1000
Friends of Wisconsin. The amendment will authorize funding for the purchase of trees to A/N#: 0333-
0620-6535-11401.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve this resolution.
Approved,
