There’s little consequence.
Alderman Cookson
There is the possibility if this other carrier decides to not move forward, we could exist with two cell towers as
they are currently built right now in Mine Falls Park.
Attorney Bolton
The remaining carrier when its lease expires the situation will resolve itself at that time. I’m hoping it resolves
itself prior to that.

Ms. Osborne
It's an annual purchase. It was approved at the May BPW. It got overlooked in all of the finance meetings
prior to this. As we were establishing the purchasing orders we realized in error that it hadn’t been brought to
the finance committee yet. That’s why it has taken this long to get here.

| Know this has always been a topic at least with the last administration and | about when do we replace them.
| think some of the cost is for the regular trash toters, not all of it. As you said, a majority might be for the
recycling toters. | know they do have to replace them at some point. My trash bin was quite old. | don’t’ know
when they started the program.
Alderman Caron
In ’03.

| can check it out and let you know.
Mayor Donchess
This was discussed in some detail at the Board of Public Works.

It’s running down. So what they do is they buy a big bunch of them and they’re for sale to the public. They get
a whole group and they sell them gradually. They’re selling like | think fairly rapidly — 20 to 30 at a time in the
course of a week maybe. Then they buy a big supply. They sell those until they get down close to running out
and then they buy another set of them.
Alderman Cookson
So at $60 apiece, $145,000 goes in about 2,400 times.
