Presentation. Steve, would you like to
give a presentation on this crane?
[0:27]
» Yes, sir.
Basically, I'm applying for equipment
[0:30]
grant to replace some of the older
equipment that we have. Roller on the
[0:35]
trucks
help move forward with a lot of projects
[0:39]
we got going.
Lot of dump trucks, regular cab trucks,
[0:46]
rollers. We desperately need rollers.
70s, gentlemen, something like that.
[1:00]
With this grant, we can get 525%
[1:05]
grant money and the rest is city money.
>> So the city's portion is 45%.
[1:10]
» Yes.
[1:13]
» You said how much is the city portion?
>> 45%.
[1:19]
» Steve, what's the dollar figure that
we're asking for?
[1:24]
376,0332
[1:32]
» 16 something
[1:38]
[clears throat]
[1:41]
215
>> 169 215
[1:51]
» questions
[1:55]
So, as we get
this new and everything, you kind of
[1:59]
walk us through allow
[2:05]
saves on wear and tear and time.
>> Okay.
[2:08]
» I mean, our old equipment, we start
running it pretty hard to break down and
[2:12]
we're dumping a lot of money into
equipment. It's not worth the time
[2:15]
repairs they need. A lot of our dump
trucks that we're talking about,
[2:20]
especially utility trucks are pre,
[2:28]
[clears throat]
[2:31]
we have pretty good luck with our 550s.
So, we're trying to stay with the trucks
[2:36]
a little bit.
[2:43]
» I was just ask like so estimation
talking about like wear and tear with
[2:48]
trucks and that like costwise you
estimate cost you.
[2:53]
» Well, [snorts] if he was going to repair
the roller for instance
[2:58]
[cough and clears throat]
to get it where you can rely on it, I'd
[3:01]
say you spent about half what cost.
Because the drums are heated up really
[3:07]
bad. The wipers are completely gone off
of it. The motor is old colon motor.
[3:11]
It's smokes like a [snorts]
better mosquito killer than it is
[3:17]
a motor. I mean it gets hot shuts down.
You have to let it sit for 30 40
[3:20]
minutes. It's just it's just wore out.
>> So breaks.
[3:25]
» So it would be very like the 169 for
everything that we're asking for for the
[3:29]
169
less of an investment.
[3:34]
If I was going to repair all the trucks.
Yes.
[3:38]
» What are you planning on surplusing
afterwards?
[3:41]
» Uh, we're going to surplus the old
double roller. Of course, we're going to
[3:45]
surplus the gold gold Chevy, the
loose. No, we already
[3:54]
» Yes, we got the gold one. And then the
plant plant plant one. We're going to
[3:58]
move over to the trash truck. We're
going to get rid of the gold dodge.
[4:03]
So, it's going to help more just once.
>> Yeah.
[4:05]
» Yeah.
>> Is there anything that you'll be able to
[4:08]
do with new equipment that you haven't
been able to do before that we've had to
[4:11]
contract out?
>> Well, the roller is we've not been able
[4:15]
to really get in there and roll patches
like we need to for a long time and
[4:18]
that's why we're going to do this.
>> How's the budget impacted with the
[4:24]
[snorts] city's part of the grant? So
every year we include money for public
[4:30]
works vehicles of some sort and so we
knew this was coming and so divided out
[4:35]
between the departments and capital out
we do have money set aside for this
[4:40]
particular
grant. Now if we don't get it then we
[4:44]
have the money set aside to to get other
things just not the amount that we would
[4:49]
with this.
>> Sounds good. And we're trying to set all
[4:52]
[snorts] our trucks up for multi-use now
where they can pull the trailers, haul
[4:56]
the guys, do do more than one just
because that's why we're going with more
[5:00]
doors on a couple of the trucks. That
way when we got multiple guys going,
[5:04]
they don't have to have bring two or
three trucks. They can bring one truck
[5:08]
they need all equipment. They can all
get there and do what they need to do. A
[5:12]
lot of our trucks right now are all
single caps. You get need four guys over
[5:16]
there be blocking traffic and doing all
this. You got to take multiple trucks.
[5:21]
And then we make our trucks universal
for more things. Just better off all the
[5:25]
way around
[5:29]
like a lot of the dump trucks, you know,
they sit until we need them. Well, if
[5:33]
you can use it for multitask, you know,
keeps moving, keeps just everything work
[5:37]
better.
[5:41]
» Other questions?
Efficiency for your team is going to
[5:44]
help you cut down
be a little bit more efficient, more
[5:49]
streamlined.
>> That's the plan.
[5:52]
I mean the guys have already talked
about different things they could do.
[5:55]
the 550s ain't know that utility beds on
they still with them at the same time
[6:01]
truck [cough and clears throat] not have
a utility truck the truck the trailer
[6:04]
truck that's why we're trying to do the
same having so much equipment all sitt
[6:14]
approval
>> not yet I got to get this
[6:19]
and then I can have you some better
information on
[6:22]
» [snorts]
[6:25]
» Unfortunately with the grants is a step
process. I got
[6:28]
» Yes.
>> Got it.
[6:30]
» Do we have to have this subitted?
>> I think I got plenty of time. Don't read
[6:36]
it with I'm trying to remember off the
top of my head.
[6:41]
» I'm not in no huge hurry. I got plenty
of time.
[6:45]
» I just want to get ahead of the game. Is
this something that they do at certain
[6:49]
times of the year or is it as there's a
need as
[6:53]
» it's a yearly grant. It's just it's been
last year with the government shutdown
[6:58]
really messed all everything up and I
was going to go after last year and they
[7:01]
shut it all down. So it's a yearly
grant. It's you know option pretty much
[7:05]
every year to just if you qualify for it
and we've already filled out all the
[7:11]
paperwork we've been rated before. So
very
[7:15]
» the last step before the middle correct
the last step before the middle. If it's
[7:21]
submitted,
do you have a sense that it will be
[7:26]
awarded?
>> I think we got a very good chance
[7:29]
» because we've done this before with USDA
[clears throat]
[7:32]
and we bought that line dump trucks
before.
[7:34]
» Okay.
>> We don't know when that
[7:38]
» it's it's open and so I'm I'm in contact
with USDA. I'm just going to be straight
[7:43]
up. I'm in contact with them. And so
I've got I've got somebody there that
[7:47]
I've been talking to. So
>> it never it never like closes down. It's
[7:51]
okay. I see.
>> There's nothing in here about it.
[7:55]
» It's usually open
[cough and clears throat]
[7:56]
a whole year. It's just last year we got
government shut down and just put it
[8:04]
like
>> this. This won't
[8:10]
» just
badly.
[8:12]
» Yeah. [laughter] Fair enough. the ones
are a little more expensive.
[8:17]
» The only other question I have and it um
may not matter on this grant, but if you
[8:23]
look at the form
um like on P
[8:28]
seven um the equal opportunity agreement
and the assurance agreement, why are the
[8:32]
expiration dates in 2005? Do those need
to be updated?
[8:36]
» Because when they were typed it was
2005.
[8:38]
» Okay. So, we probably will have to
>> once once it gets approval to be to go
[8:43]
ahead and be submitted, then I can go
help them change dates and things like
[8:46]
that.
>> Okay. Because I know they will kick them
[8:49]
back.
>> Yes, they will.
[8:51]
» But there I mean, I wasn't going to
change it until a few.
[8:53]
» Absolutely. I just wanted to make sure,
>> speaking from experience, done that.
[9:00]
» Been there, done that, too. I do have a
little bit of overshare on this
[9:07]
» to remind me what I've got. Any other
questions, concerns?
[9:15]
» Either
participation
[9:20]
like speak questions.
[9:26]
» If not, board to proceed.
>> I no question. I make the motion that we
[9:32]
accept [snorts] this grant to get it.
>> I'll second it.
[9:35]
» All in favor? I oppose.
Motion pass. Anything [clears throat]
[9:41]
else on this grant?
>> If not, I'll take a motion to adjurnn.
[9:44]
