ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Is Mr. Ibarra here?
Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets
lam Mr. Mayor. Jason Puopolo the Superintendent of Park and Rec. is no longer with the Division of Public Works in the
city. So I've been asked to speak to this purchase. With me tonight is John Stewart so if you need any historical data or
technical data relative to these purchases, he's here joining to answer any of those questions.
But to start, this is replacing truck 503 and 504. They’re used daily through the summer season hauling equipment, and
material, and crews to the jobs, and then they'll be used for snow removal during the winter operations. I'm happy to
answer any questions.
Mayor Donchess
Madam Clerk, would you call the roll?
Alderwoman Kelly
Did you call for questions Mayor Donchess?
Mayor Donchess
Well | didn't really. | looked over and no one had their — did you have a question?
Alderwoman Kelly
That’s why (inaudible) the last two times.
Mayor Donchess
| looked over and | didn’t see anybody that seemed like they were going to ask one so | just went ahead. But if anyone
wants to ask a questions, no problem at this point.
Alderman Klee
Thank you. Maybe I’m just missing something. The letter here speaks to two dump trucks for $161,217. This says the
value or $56,253 plus a radio of $5,000 for each one of those for a total of $161,217. Maybe I’m just not adding it right. It
doesn’t seem to add up nor does it match.
