ON THE QUESTION
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste
Thank you. Jeff Lefleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste. As you all know, this has been a big project that we’ve been
trying to do over the past ten years since I’ve been Superintendent trying to get all of our collection equipment vehicles
underneath a canopy to help prolong the life of the vehicles instead of having them out in the weather. This is also to help
keep the snow off the tops of the roofs of the trucks. We have a very hard time cleaning off the tops of the trucks with
snow brushes after a big snowstorm. So this would help alleviate any of that making us more safe out on the roads.
Alderwoman Klee
Thank you and thank you Mr. Lefleur for bringing this forward. | think that’s really important. We have a law in New
Hampshire but | know your trucks would be excluded because it would be difficult to get to them. A lot of people have lost
their lives from snow coming off the tops of the trucks. Thank you putting this through.
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste
Thank you so much.
Alderman O’Brien
Yes, | just wondered which facility is this going to be built at. Is this going to be part of the phasing as we look at the solid
waste landfill or is this going in the current location of Stadium Drive?
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste
Great question. This is going over at the landfill. It’s going to be kind of behind where the new DPW building is being
built. The good thing about with this clearspan structure is if it ever has to be moved, it’s able to be disassembled and
moved. That was one of the big deciding factors in purchasing this.
Alderman O’Brien
Brilliant because that would go hand in hand with the new administration building that hopefully will be built at that facility,
correct?
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste
Yes, Sir.
Alderman O’Brien
Outstanding. Thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Anyone have comments, questions?
