they actually were. But! am very proud to be a southside kid and | am with Alderman Gathright so there you
go.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
OK.
Mayor Donchess
Well that’s a good idea, maybe we should do some research into what the old neighborhoods were. What
maybe the neighborhood names that have gone, into what they really were.

Well this year’s | think is $38,000.00. We look at kind of a 3-year trailing average of ridership and then we
make a best guess of that and work with Merrimack to come up with a reasonable amount. There was a
significant decrease last year fairly with COVID a lot less travel. Working with Merrimack we assumed that
would not be the case this year going forward and so we are not expecting a significant decrease in this
contract than last year.

Yes | am. | am a big proponent of buying local sort to speak. But again | have to say, $129,797.00 up to
$281,193.00 for an Augusta, Maine company | guess it boggles my mind, the difference.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Maybe it is travel time.

still a good thing it is becoming costly. | know there was at one point where we were talking about it went from
$1.00 a ton or however it is measured to $85.00. Would this contract change that cost or is that separate.
Mr. LaFleur
| think there’s some confusion Alderwoman Klee. This is electronics recycling, not single stream recycling.
Alderman Klee
OK yes | was confused. Thank you.

to cook the piles enough where we could give us compost to the residents. There would be some many weed

the landfill.
