00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:28,800
Presentation. Steve, would you like to
give a presentation on this crane?

10
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:33,680
» Yes, sir.
Basically, I'm applying for equipment

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:38,399
grant to replace some of the older
equipment that we have. Roller on the

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:42,960
trucks
help move forward with a lot of projects

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:51,600
we got going.
Lot of dump trucks, regular cab trucks,

14
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:56,600
rollers. We desperately need rollers.
70s, gentlemen, something like that.

15
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:04,520
With this grant, we can get 525%

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:13,479
grant money and the rest is city money.
>> So the city's portion is 45%.

17
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:13,479
» Yes.

18
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,840
» You said how much is the city portion?
>> 45%.

19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:27,400
» Steve, what's the dollar figure that
we're asking for?

20
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,400
376,0332

21
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,280
» 16 something

22
00:01:38,906 --> 00:01:40,926
[clears throat]

23
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,680
215
>> 169 215

24
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,360
» questions

25
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:03,960
So, as we get
this new and everything, you kind of

26
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,960
walk us through allow

27
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:10,080
saves on wear and tear and time.
>> Okay.

28
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,920
» I mean, our old equipment, we start
running it pretty hard to break down and

29
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:18,560
we're dumping a lot of money into
equipment. It's not worth the time

30
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:26,360
repairs they need. A lot of our dump
trucks that we're talking about,

31
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,360
especially utility trucks are pre,

32
00:02:28,031 --> 00:02:30,051
[clears throat]

33
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:39,800
we have pretty good luck with our 550s.
So, we're trying to stay with the trucks

34
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,800
a little bit.

35
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:51,360
» I was just ask like so estimation
talking about like wear and tear with

36
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:55,599
trucks and that like costwise you
estimate cost you.

37
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:58,959
» Well, [snorts] if he was going to repair
the roller for instance

38
00:02:58,161 --> 00:03:05,120
[cough and clears throat]
to get it where you can rely on it, I'd

39
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:08,879
say you spent about half what cost.
Because the drums are heated up really

40
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:14,000
bad. The wipers are completely gone off
of it. The motor is old colon motor.

41
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:19,040
It's smokes like a [snorts]
better mosquito killer than it is

42
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:23,519
a motor. I mean it gets hot shuts down.
You have to let it sit for 30 40

43
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:27,840
minutes. It's just it's just wore out.
>> So breaks.

44
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,360
» So it would be very like the 169 for
everything that we're asking for for the

45
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:36,319
169
less of an investment.

46
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,400
If I was going to repair all the trucks.
Yes.

47
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,640
» What are you planning on surplusing
afterwards?

48
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:50,080
» Uh, we're going to surplus the old
double roller. Of course, we're going to

49
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:56,319
surplus the gold gold Chevy, the
loose. No, we already

50
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,239
» Yes, we got the gold one. And then the
plant plant plant one. We're going to

51
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:05,120
move over to the trash truck. We're
going to get rid of the gold dodge.

52
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:06,959
So, it's going to help more just once.
>> Yeah.

53
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,480
» Yeah.
>> Is there anything that you'll be able to

54
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,200
do with new equipment that you haven't
been able to do before that we've had to

55
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,280
contract out?
>> Well, the roller is we've not been able

56
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:22,160
to really get in there and roll patches
like we need to for a long time and

57
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:26,720
that's why we're going to do this.
>> How's the budget impacted with the

58
00:04:24,623 --> 00:04:33,040
[snorts] city's part of the grant? So
every year we include money for public

59
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:38,800
works vehicles of some sort and so we
knew this was coming and so divided out

60
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:42,479
between the departments and capital out
we do have money set aside for this

61
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:47,440
particular
grant. Now if we don't get it then we

62
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:51,280
have the money set aside to to get other
things just not the amount that we would

63
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,560
with this.
>> Sounds good. And we're trying to set all

64
00:04:52,788 --> 00:04:58,880
[snorts] our trucks up for multi-use now
where they can pull the trailers, haul

65
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:03,040
the guys, do do more than one just
because that's why we're going with more

66
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,080
doors on a couple of the trucks. That
way when we got multiple guys going,

67
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,880
they don't have to have bring two or
three trucks. They can bring one truck

68
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:14,080
they need all equipment. They can all
get there and do what they need to do. A

69
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:18,720
lot of our trucks right now are all
single caps. You get need four guys over

70
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:24,320
there be blocking traffic and doing all
this. You got to take multiple trucks.

71
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:29,080
And then we make our trucks universal
for more things. Just better off all the

72
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:29,080
way around

73
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,360
like a lot of the dump trucks, you know,
they sit until we need them. Well, if

74
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:40,360
you can use it for multitask, you know,
keeps moving, keeps just everything work

75
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,360
better.

76
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:47,840
» Other questions?
Efficiency for your team is going to

77
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,919
help you cut down
be a little bit more efficient, more

78
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:53,840
streamlined.
>> That's the plan.

79
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:58,080
I mean the guys have already talked
about different things they could do.

80
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:02,080
the 550s ain't know that utility beds on
they still with them at the same time

81
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,080
truck [cough and clears throat] not have
a utility truck the truck the trailer

82
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:10,600
truck that's why we're trying to do the
same having so much equipment all sitt

83
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:21,199
approval
>> not yet I got to get this

84
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:24,544
and then I can have you some better
information on

85
00:06:22,524 --> 00:06:24,544
» [snorts]

86
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,520
» Unfortunately with the grants is a step
process. I got

87
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,360
» Yes.
>> Got it.

88
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:38,160
» Do we have to have this subitted?
>> I think I got plenty of time. Don't read

89
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,479
it with I'm trying to remember off the
top of my head.

90
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,600
» I'm not in no huge hurry. I got plenty
of time.

91
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:52,000
» I just want to get ahead of the game. Is
this something that they do at certain

92
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:56,479
times of the year or is it as there's a
need as

93
00:06:53,280 --> 00:07:00,160
» it's a yearly grant. It's just it's been
last year with the government shutdown

94
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,599
really messed all everything up and I
was going to go after last year and they

95
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:09,680
shut it all down. So it's a yearly
grant. It's you know option pretty much

96
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:14,800
every year to just if you qualify for it
and we've already filled out all the

97
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:18,319
paperwork we've been rated before. So
very

98
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:23,360
» the last step before the middle correct
the last step before the middle. If it's

99
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,960
submitted,
do you have a sense that it will be

100
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,300
awarded?
>> I think we got a very good chance

101
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,919
» because we've done this before with USDA
[clears throat]

102
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,280
and we bought that line dump trucks
before.

103
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:41,520
» Okay.
>> We don't know when that

104
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:45,759
» it's it's open and so I'm I'm in contact
with USDA. I'm just going to be straight

105
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:49,360
up. I'm in contact with them. And so
I've got I've got somebody there that

106
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:53,199
I've been talking to. So
>> it never it never like closes down. It's

107
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:56,190
okay. I see.
>> There's nothing in here about it.

108
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,680
» It's usually open
[cough and clears throat]

109
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:06,800
a whole year. It's just last year we got
government shut down and just put it

110
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:12,319
like
>> this. This won't

111
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,879
» just
badly.

112
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:21,199
» Yeah. [laughter] Fair enough. the ones
are a little more expensive.

113
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:25,440
» The only other question I have and it um
may not matter on this grant, but if you

114
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:30,639
look at the form
um like on P

115
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:34,880
seven um the equal opportunity agreement
and the assurance agreement, why are the

116
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:37,760
expiration dates in 2005? Do those need
to be updated?

117
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,560
» Because when they were typed it was
2005.

118
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:45,200
» Okay. So, we probably will have to
>> once once it gets approval to be to go

119
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,839
ahead and be submitted, then I can go
help them change dates and things like

120
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:49,839
that.
>> Okay. Because I know they will kick them

121
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,640
back.
>> Yes, they will.

122
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,839
» But there I mean, I wasn't going to
change it until a few.

123
00:08:53,920 --> 00:09:02,800
» Absolutely. I just wanted to make sure,
>> speaking from experience, done that.

124
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:06,920
» Been there, done that, too. I do have a
little bit of overshare on this

125
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:14,279
» to remind me what I've got. Any other
questions, concerns?

126
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:24,519
» Either
participation

127
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,519
like speak questions.

128
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:34,640
» If not, board to proceed.
>> I no question. I make the motion that we

129
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:39,120
accept [snorts] this grant to get it.
>> I'll second it.

130
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:43,040
» All in favor? I oppose.
Motion pass. Anything [clears throat]

131
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,399
else on this grant?
>> If not, I'll take a motion to adjurnn.
