Director of Central Services Phill Francis will address.
| SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS OR CONCERNS: |
The following two trucks have reached the end of lifecycle and associated repairs and maintenance has become cost prohibitive. We will replace unit 975, a 2002 International truck with 571,000 miles (oil samples are showing signs of metal wear within engine block), and unit 957, a 2003 Sterling 3518T tractor with 366,000 miles (engine failed: replacement cost is $27,800).
Staff recommends approval of transfer and budget amendment.
Resolution and budget amendment appropriates $61,488 to Solid Waste Transfer Station Capital Outlay - Vehicles. Cash will transfer from Electric Utility Fund to Solid Waste Utility Fund.
Balance in Scrap Metal cash account: Before Transfer $184,095.88
