Subject: Board Approval - Replacement Forklift & Donation

Hello, All. At our last Board meeting on May 2, 2025, we discussed the need to replace the club forklift.

From the May 2nd minutes:
Roundtable: Rod mentioned that the forklift needs to be replaced at some point (we have a 1968 Yale forklift). We will begin to obtain quotes for a used forklift and sale of our current forklift so we are ready if our forklift ceases to operate.

  1. Purchase replacement forklift:
    A search was conducted to find a forklift at the best price in the local area. Discount Forklift in Phoenix had a 2018 Hyster (5000 lbs.) forklift available for $15,577 to replace our existing forklift. The decision was made by several Board members to purchase this forklift as replacement equipment. The forklift was delivered to the Metal Club on 6/20/2025.
  2. Status of Yale Forklift:
    A decision was made by several Board members to donate the 1968 Yale forklift to the Maricopa Live Steamers who operate model trains at the Adobe Mountain Desert Railroad Park (Pinnacle Peak & 43rd in Glendale). Metal Club member Scotty Brooks is also a member of this group and appreciated the forklift donation for their activities. The forklift was valued at $500 in its current condition and donated on June 20, 2025.

We would like to document this replacement purchase and club donation in our Board meeting notes.

Please indicate your approval with this forklift replacement purchase and donation by replying to this email with ‘Yes’ to purchase/donate or ‘No’ needs more discussion.
