ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Alright and | think we have Superintendent Lafleur from the landfill on this?
Jeffrey Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste
Yes you do. Thank you so much. | also have John Stewart, Street Manager on if there are any other questions
with this also. These are two rear load packers that we are replacing. We are actually going to keep the two
rear load packers as back up vehicles for our yard waste in our heavy seasons. And the automated side
loader is replacing a packer a side loader that is no longer in service. We deemed it unfavorable to replace it
or repair what was needed into it. And that will be traded in or sold at auction.
