Alderman O’Brien

Probably would be nice to mention | kind of sweated bullets with it, I’m sure you did too. But can you say what
happened this summer? We did have a failure of one pump and we were relying on one pump and | would
guess it would make a bloody mess if that one pump did fail. So this is prudent to think ahead like this.

Mr. Boucher

Mr. LaFleur

Yes.

Alderman Klee

We are not separating because it would be two collections and so on.

Mr. LaFleur

Exactly.

Alderman Klee

And it would cost us, so we are still doing the single stream, they extract it and then they return it to us so we
can use it in this manner, is that correct?

Mr. LaFleur

Yes, exactly.

Alderman Klee

Thank you.

ON THE QUESTION
Mr. LaFleur

Finance Committee - 03/04/2020 Page 14
Alderman Klee

Just one more thing. So what you are saying is that we are actually kind of getting revenue from this too but
we don’t know off-hand what that kind of revenue is?

Mr. LaFleur

That was a contract that was done throughout the City.

Mayor Donchess

| don’t think we get revenue because there was a dispute with the prior contractor and it was a very serious
dispute over their performance. | am trying to think of who that was.

Mr. LaFleur

It was Foristar.
