Name of Project: Additional Implements for John Deere 1026R Tractor
Contact: Trapper Creek Community Services?? ???Phone Number: 907-733-7375

Brief description of the project: What is your proposed project? Please describe it.
The Trapper Creek Park and Cemetery, which is owned by the residents of Trapper Creek and managed by the non-profit Trapper Creek Community Services Association, Inc., consists of approximately 82 acres of which approximately 20 acres has been cleared.
?We propose the purchase of two additional implements for our John Deere 1026R tractor, a replacement filter kit for maintenance of the tractor, and delivery to Trapper Creek for a projected cost of $3332.29 from Craig Taylor Equipment of Wasilla.
Over time the cleared area has become uneven with frost heaves and rutting. On a seasonal basis a disk harrow would serve to condition the open field area, disk the community garden, level out the western addition to the cemetery, as well as serve many additional purposes in the future.
?? A moveable pallet fork attachment would ensure ease of moving tractor attachments in and out of the storage building and aid in moving any heavy material from any part of the park.
?? A filter pack kit would provide all the replacement filters and parts for proper and regular maintenance of the tractor.
?? Who, why and approximately how many people in our community will benefit from completion of this project?
As the park belongs to all residents of the community, everyone would benefit.
Is there evidence of public support for this project? If so, please attach.
The community has consistently shown support for the development and maintenance of our park, as evidenced by approval of past Revenue Sharing proposals, including purchase of a tractor and implements.
?Project Budget: Please provide project budget figures. Provide supporting documentation.
Craig Taylor Equipment has provided a cost proposal for:
?Frontier 4 foot Disk Harrow with 12 Notched Blades on 7.5 In. Spacing?? $ 1,753.00
?Frontier 42 inch Pallet Forks for H120 loader on 1026R Tractor ??????? $ 1,275.00??????????

? Delivery to Trapper Creek ???????????????????????????????????????????? $ 225.00

Maintaining the Trapper Creek Park and Cemetery with our own equipment will provide savings for a long time into the future.
