S/H Expenditure $23,650.00 + Garbage carts: 200-64 gallon and 300-96 gallon $600.00 $32,649.00 High voltage electrical repair at Satellite plant $1,872.75 + $5.50 Uniforms for Pollution Facility Center employees $1,030.22 + $5.50 Uniforms for Sanitation employees $4,080.00 1600 ft of sewer cleaning high pressure hose Larry Smith, Superintendent of Waste Management, stated the 200 -64 gallon garbage carts, 300- 96 gallon garbage carts, are just a normal replacement program we go through. Mr. Welper asked how are these getting so damaged because I have had the same cart since the day we got them and it looks fine. Mr. Smith stated you are lucky. Mr. Welper stated it has some scratches on it from the machine but other than that. Mr. Smith stated most of our carts were originally Auto Carts, brand name. The life expectancy is about 10 years. We are seeing a lot more of them go bad because we are past that 10-year period by about 5 years. So we have got extra wear out of them but it is just that they are past their life expectancy. Mr, Welper asked so what breaks, the lid? Ms. Cole stated it is the lid. My lids on all three of mine are torn up. Mr. Smith stated a lot of what we see is that when the grippers grab the cart the elasticity of the plastic is no longer there and it will just crack the can. Mr. Welper asked how long have we had these? Mr. Smith stated the high voltage electrical repair we had when we started up the satellite plant one of our blowers literally a panel off the wall and what was discovered is that during the construction period there was a high voltage wire that was ran too close to the bus bar. Over a period of time as the insulation broke down on it, it allowed it to arch across to the bus bar. We have three other blowers that are in the same situation, so we are wanting to repair those before we blow anything else up. The uniforms for the employees is a contractual agreement. The 1600 ft of sewer cleaning hose is high-pressure hose that we use on our flusher for cleaning sewer lines. Over a period of time of being run in and out of manholes and down sewer lines, it actually wear off the outside of it and render it useless. It can't hold the pressure. Ayes: Two. Absent: Greenwood.

We are using bond money to purchase them and replace the old ones. Mr. Welper asked how many total will we be buying? Will we be buying 100 at a time? Ms. Greco stated we will probably need to buy about 500 more and we have purchased a little over a hundred so far. Unless we decide not to, there are certain areas that are not so busy. They are all the same meter. Suzy Schares, City Clerk, stated Sandie isn't true too that the old meters, we can't get the pieces to fix them? Ms. Greco stated no we can't. Once we take them out we try and save what we can out of them but we can't get parts. Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer asked if we are going to hire someone to install these or are we trying to do these ourselves? Ms. Greco stated we will do them in house. Ms. Weidner stated aren't you low on people? Ms. Greco stated yes. Ms. Weidner asked how long it will take them? Ms. Greco stated I am not sure how long it will take for them to get here. They probably won't all arrive until October so we will start then. I don't know if we will get them all in before winter, it will just depend on the weather.
