ITEM 6 - DISCUSS PURCHASE OF CONTAINERS FOR'EVO REFUSE TRUCKS
City Manager explained that Load -All has beds that are 8' rather
than 12' and some used ones are available. It was considered to
have a central location for the residential trucks to dump here
in town, rather than going to the dump three or four times a day.
The commercial truck would then load it and take it to the dump.
The advantages would mainly be conserving fuel.
Ken Thompson said we could get by with 6 or 8 but they have 14
for $6,000.00 and we could purchase all for about we we could
purchase the 6 or 8. They are available in Mt. Pleasant, Mo.
Mayor Spencer asked Mr. Williams how he heard about this, to
which Mr. Williams responded through Leroy Johnson who is going
out of business as he lost his contract. Mayor Spencer com-
mented he has been in touch with the dump and we are unloading
twice a day. Mr. Williams replied 2.7 times a day.
Mayor Spencer said he would like another sixty days to think
about it.
Don Thompson questioned what happens when you dump 8 yards of
packed refuse into the commercial truck all at once, as that is
quite different from 8 yards of loose refuse.
Mayor Spencer expressed a concern that they might not be regu-
larly dumped
Motion was made by Don Thompson, seconded by Boyd Spencer, to
table discussion of purchase of containers for EVO refuse trucks
to the April 1, 1980 meeting.
Ayes - Messrs. Spencer, Thompson, Lambert, Mrs. Fickle
Nays - None
Motion carried.
