Councilperson Getty stated that he has heard from employees of the
City Street Department indicating odors emitting from the Garbage
trucks. He suggested that money be allocated for steam cleaning of
these trucks. Don Thorson, Superintendent of Streets stated that
bids had been taken approximately 1 year ago. He was requested to
reactivate these bids. Bruce Meisinger was instructed to
investigate funding for this project.
It was moved by Getty, seconded by Klinger that the requisitions be
recommended for approval. Motion carried.
Assistant City Attorney, Donna Lesyshen, indicated that she had
formulated a response to Mark Schantz who questioned the City's
requirement that on certain construction projects, 50% of the worker
hours be residents of the City of Waterloo, Iowa, (Resolution No.
1983-67). She indicated that the action of the Council was
appropriate, that it was a valid resolution and that economic
conditions dictated the need for this resolution.
