Alderman Caron
There was no trade in? And who is doing all the work to put these vehicles together? Is it Public Works or the
company itself?
Mayor Donchess
Put them together meaning?
Alderman Caron
Prior to this trucks can come fully loaded, there were parts that Public Works did the mechanics division did.
Mayor Donchess
Great question. | don’t have the answer to that. Do you want us to try to get it?
Alderman Caron
If you would sure, my question is because we had so many of these from Public Works it would have been nice
to have someone from the Street Department in attendance to answer some of these questions. | appreciate
it, thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Mr. Kooken will check into the issue of assembly. Is there any other discussion?

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Klee
| just have a quick question more to understand this. When they were here before and gave us a presentation
on the different things they needed, this is part of what they were talking about, the different fixes and changes
that they had to make so this has been on their schedule, correct? This isn’t something new?
Mayor Donchess
As they talked about at the time, there were a lot of deficiencies discovered at the Waste Water Treatment
Plant in 2014 maybe. And the superintendent was discharged and a study was done, it might have been 2013,
a study was done with looking at everything. So there’s just constant on-going improvements flowing from that
and improvements in general given that the plant is 25 years old. None of this is like something broke they are
replacing things as they have anticipated they would need to at least since that detailed look at the plant was
done.
