out to the residents. It also includes having some cartons over at the landfill (inaudible)

Jeffrey LaFleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste
(inaudible) These toters are twenty years old. They’re starting to fall apart so (inaudible).
Mayor Donchess
You are slipping out a little bit in and out but the explanation, | think, was that we buy an annual supply of these to

two together. This is beneficial so that we’re never down so that we can take one off line for maintenance purposes or if it
happens to break down, we won't lose our process.
Also, we'd like to use Wright Pierce the stair well that goes to this heat exchanger actually towers 70 feet above ground
and there is an exhaust fan located on the roof that is currently not accessible by our maintenance staff to do any
