HomeMy WebLinkAboutSummaryCurrently, the Department of Public Works has two trucks, No.'s 230021 and 230037, 1994 GMC Model
with over 120,000 hours of service. These trucks belong to the Solid Waste Department fleet, but in late
2006, they were going to be disposed of. During the same time period, Public Works was in the process
of starting a pilot program for residents which included grinding and mulching the tree trimmer's cuttings,
rather than leaving the cut limbs curbside. We asked for the transfer of these trucks to the Public Works
fleet which we have been using since 2006. The new truck that will be purchased has more storage
capacity, more fuel efficiency, and is more suitable for this type of hauling while also providing more
comfort to,the operator.
