There are maintenance problems at the new WWTP. The chain broke on the grid. It has been replaced, but then other problems have been discovered that will cost about $10,000.00 to repair. Warranties have expired on the equipment. The Ambulance is having problems with some of their portable radios. They will be purchasing 6 new ones and part of the expenditures will come fron the 1989-90 budget and the balance from the 1990-91 budget. The City has received a temporary permit from the state to operate a transfer site. We have room for about a month to six weeks of dumping in our pit, and the City does-not want to go through the expense of digging a new one. The Garbage Committee is still looking at trucks to haul garbage from a transfer site. The debate is whether to buy a used truck for a total cost of $30,000 to $40,000 or a new one for a total cost of $60,000 to $80,000.
