Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The Solid Waste heavy equipment was added to the City’s vehicle replacement program and fund in FY 2009-10 and since that time Solid Waste has made annual contributions for the replacement of garbage collection vehicles. The addition of the equipment to the program has allowed Solid Waste to improve the quality and predictability of the trash and recycling collection service. In FY 2017-18 the purchase of one new front load collection truck has been recommended. The addition of this vehicle will allow the commercial line of business to align the workload for this division with industry standards by adding an additional collection route. The funding for the vehicle will come from the Enterprise Maintenance and Equipment Replacement Fund.
