ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
| guess Mr. LaFleur left.
Mr. Ibarra
He wasn’t able to be here tonight so he got ahold of me this morning and asked me if I’d speak on his behalf
so I'll do my best to answer his questions.
Mayor Donchess
Ok, any questions or comments about this?
Alderman Laws
As | understand it this is just to have a snowplow on hand at the Waste Water facility? No?
Mr. Ibarra
So what this truck is set up to do is actually clean catch basins as a clam shell bucket on a boom that they can
go down and grab the muck and the brick and whatever is in the bottom of the basins. They’ve been doing it
with the Vactor Trucks, that’s time consuming. It takes the Vactor trucks off of doing sewer blockages and
jetting lines. So this will be one more tool in their arsenal. They had an old number 4, which this is designed to
replace. That’s been out of service for 7 years rough figures. It will definitely be an asset to the City to be able
to get out there and clean basins with that. It’s more mechanical as well; where the Vactors are sucking up the
grime through the fan and it wears out the metal a lot quicker.
Mayor Donchess
Now | think you are item ahead of us.
Mr. Ibarra
You are talking under plow controls?
