Budget Committee Meeting <br />August 26, 1999 <br />Page 6 <br />cubic yards. <br />City Manager Malone said one thing the city would have to specify for <br />anyone who is going to pick up our trash, we would not want any of those <br />big trucks on our streets. City Manager Malone said the city should be <br />charging a franchise fee for the commercial vehicles. He said the city <br />has the authority to do this and it is a revenue source, and if this is done, <br />it would enable the city to take the fee off of the apartment owners and <br />possibly some of the businesses. <br />Mr. Huddleston said if the city goes with the container route, we would <br />specify 90 gallon containers, and he felt that 60 gallon containers should <br />be used for the elderly. <br />Mr. Huddleston said the line items are typical of the previous year. Mr. <br />Huddleston pointed out that there is $267,000.00 proposed for landfill <br />fees. Under lease and rental of equipment there is $195,000.00 <br />representing a certain amount of the equipment that has been discussed <br />tonight on time payment. Under machinery, tools and equipment there <br />is $103,500.00 which represents the trash containers that has been <br />discussed, a dump device, and a used dump truck is also shown in that <br />under vehicles account in the amount of $48,000.00. <br />Director of Utilities, Herb Campbell, was present presenting a slide <br />presentation of his departments which consist of Water Production, <br />Waste Water Treatment, and the Lift Station. <br />The first department to consider was the Water Production. Councilman <br />McWaters questioned the building maintenance account. Mr. Campbell <br />told him that they plan to repaint the Maxey buildings as it has been 10 <br />years since they were painted and he anticipated that to cost 10 to 12 <br />thousand dollars to do that. Mr. Campbell pointed out that they take care <br />of a lot of grounds such the ground storage, the spray field which has <br />225 acres that they have to take care of. <br />Mr. Wilson said on account Number 0410 the budget goes from <br />$5,000.00 to $60,000.00 and wanted to know what that was.
