City to buy leaf vac and roll-off containers with $185,968 recycling grant; additional memo to follow
Summary
The finance committee recommended legislation to accept a $185,968 municipal recycling grant (Act 101 §902) to purchase a leaf vacuum and new roll-off containers for the recycling bureau; the remainder of the grant will be addressed in a forthcoming memo.
The Bethlehem finance committee recommended placing on the May 6 council agenda an appropriation accepting a $185,968 municipal recycling grant awarded under Pennsylvania Act 101, section 902. Administration staff said the award will cover equipment purchases this year: a new leaf vacuum and a new roll-off container for the recycling bureau. Staff indicated the remaining grant-funded purchases — including additional roll-off containers and other equipment — will be presented in a subsequent memo to the finance committee.
Committee members asked for clarification on roll-off containers; staff explained they are large, transportable containers used at the recycling center that are placed on a truck and then rolled off at the destination.
The committee approved forwarding the appropriation to the May 6 council agenda by roll call.
