In regard to the lease/purchase of a second residential refuse truck, Chairman Spencer commented he felt at the present time a lease/purchase arrangement is the way the City should go if we buy another refuse truck. He said we are in the garbage busi- ness and we have got to work it right and if a residential truck breaks down with a major breakdown it could take it a long time to get rolling again. Also, he felt from June through September we will have to have twice a week pickup and will need a second truck. Robert Wrestler asked if there is a reason why we are looking at a used unit. Mr. Meyer said the cost of $25,000.00 and the usage, as it will be a backup unit. Mrs. Fickle stated she felt we have got to have a second residential truck. Mr. Wrestler said he did not want to go with this vehicle as it is not compatable with parts on our present truck, although he did agree we need another truck. Mr. Meyer said for the month of March the refuse income was $13,000 and we paid out $4,000; al- though that $4,000 did not include insurance and dumping fees. Mr. Thompson commented he was concerned about not utilizing a $50,000 truck every day, as compared to a used truck. After further discussion it was decided the part compatability would not be a problem.
