Lawrenceburg municipal utilities introduces new director and authorizes bids for replacement bucket truck
Summary
City introduced Rob Schneider as the new Lawrenceburg Municipal Utilities director and authorized staff to solicit three bids for a replacement bucket truck after an equipment failure.
Lawrenceburg Municipal Utilities introduced Rob Schneider as its new utility director at the Oct. 6 meeting and authorized staff to solicit bids for a replacement bucket truck after the department’s unit experienced mechanical and emissions issues.
Mayor Kelly Melant introduced Schneider and noted the director had been on the job for about a week. “He is our new utility director for Lawrenceburg Municipal Utilities, on the job for a total of, what, 6 total days now?” the mayor said.
During the utilities portion of the meeting, staff said the department’s bucket truck suffered a motor failure and had recurring problems getting certification for its lift. The council approved a motion allowing Director Eric Webster and Rob Schneider to go out for bids and return with three quotes.
A council member described three separate problems with the truck — mechanical failure, certification issues for the lift, and emissions apparatus failure — and supported seeking multiple bids. The motion to solicit three bids passed by voice vote.
Council members also approved routine claims, payroll reports and meeting minutes by voice votes during the utilities portion of the meeting.
