Exactly. Actually it helped that they were electric hybrid. The advantage to an electric hybrid versus electric,
you don’t have to have quite as much of the electrical infrastructure and the price point for vans is better to go
with the electric hybrid than the fully electric.

ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
And | believe Mr. LaFleur is here, the Landfill Manager, although | guess his dog is barking so you need to get
out for a minute?
Jeffrey LaFleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste
Sorry about that, yes. Jeff LaFleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste. This is a three year contract that we have
with ChemServe; this is our last year with ChemServe for this contract. Each year DES decides what we need
to do for testing at the landfills and PFOA’s was a big one in the past three years.
So the added expenditures are here and we decided to take the added expenditures from each year and just
roll them over to the last year and just do one change order at the end. So this is why you are seeing the
$29,000.00 change order for the contract.
Mayor Donchess
Anyone? Madam Clerk, could you please call the roll?
