The request of the Superintendent of Sanitation & Recycling to purchase 100, 68 gallon garbage
containers at a cost of $4,180.00 was reviewed. The supply of extra 68 gallon containers
purchased two years ago has been depleted. The total cost to purchase 100 carts is $4,180.00.
Funding for the purchase of the carts is available from a grant received from the Black Hawk
County Solid Waste Commission. The existing containers were used up by a large number of 32
gallon customers switching to the 68 gallon and 95 gallon units. There have been some loss due
to floods, thefts and damages not covered by warranty. Customers are charged for damage that
are attributable to their negligence. A plastic welding gun was recently purchased to salvage
some of the broken units for internal use and customers. Moved by Gronen, seconded by Jordan

100, 68 gallon garbage containers at a cost of$4,180.00 be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion
carried.
