Finance Committee — 12/01/2021 Page 24
David Fredette, Treasurer/Tax Collector
Yes that's what | was going to tell you. So yes it has to be approved.
Mayor Donchess
Now Mr. Ibarra is there anybody here to just cover the solid waste?
Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets
Yes, Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste is on the line.
Mayor Donchess
Oh, okay.
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste
Thank you. Jeff Lafleur.
Mayor Donchess
So this will appear on the aldermanic agenda.
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste
Yes Sir. This vehicle here is part of our permit for the landfill. We need to water our roads to keep the dust down so it
doesn't leave the premises. This truck will also help us respond to fires in the landfill (inaudible) much having to call the
Fire Department.
Mayor Donchess
Okay. Questions? You’ve got to be quick.
Alderman Klee
| Know. It actually is just a quick question. You said that it goes to the Board because it's 10% over the budget and |
think that Mr. Fredette was going to speak to it. Is it 10% over the budget because of the current state of affairs of COVID
and so on.
Mayor Donchess
| think it would be because the value was established some time ago Mr. Fredette, right?
David Fredette, Treasurer/Tax Collector
(inaudible)
Mayor Donchess
Sometimes they go over, but you've seen others that were under. A lot of the ones we've approved have been under the
maximum price. This one happens to be over. But if it's more than 10% over, then the Board of Aldermen has to approve
it. Any other comments, questions?
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
| think | just missed something there. So in the budget we didn't have $132,000?
Mayor Donchess
Correct.
