CBC Members Present: Wakeman, Dormitzer, Franklin, Lyons
Mr. Wakeman opened the meeting at 1900 with the above quorum present.
DPW, Brian Joyce
Heavy Haul Tractor ($42,000) A request to approve the final annual lease payment on the 60
month lease of the heavy haul tractor was made. (Priority 1)
Sidewalk Plow ($166,426) Request was made to purchase a new Trackless MT7 in the ongoing
search for the proper equipment to replace the existing 2004 Holder. The MT7 would be
outfitted with the following attachments: 51" Snow blower, V-Plow, 120" Rotary Mower and
60" Angle Broom. Demonstrations of alternative equipment have not yet occurred. CBC
questioned the use of this expensive machine for lawn cutting and felt that maybe a
separate wide deck mower might be more useful than a mower attachment on the MT7.
(Priority 2)
Salt Shed ($500,000) The latest request for a new salt shed was presented. The shed
specifications were 96 x 60 housing 5 bays for mixing and storing salt / sand mix. Cost
breakdown is $330,000 for housing, $144,000 for foundation and $26,000 for incidentals. CBC
articulated that a cost benefit analysis would need to show $50,000 annual benefit to justify
this level of spend. (Priority 4)
Fence at RTF ($15,000) An inspection under the new OSHA regulations stated a barrier is
needed in front of the large transfer container at the RTF to protect parties from falling into
the bin when unloading and tossing trash. Modifications requested also include a road
bumper in the vehicle pull in area. (Priority 3)
Infrastructure, Brian Joyce
Border Street Bridge ($700,00 to $800,000) The bridge built in 1925 has been cited for repair by
the State. Some repairs are needed below the water line and others are patches on the
underside of the bridge arch. There is no known grant availability for these repairs. Target for
work is summer of 2019. (Priority 1)
