City schedules March 19 public meeting for targeted community development project; fleet staff identifies vendors for truck purchases
Summary
Council confirmed a public-involvement meeting on March 19 for a targeted community development project (item 5); fleet staff said chassis and freight liners will come from Rush Truck Center and dump bodies from Hillbill, and a director requested a detailed cost breakdown for item 8.
Director Eckhart asked whether public-works item 5 would be in front of a particular residence; a public-works representative said the project is a separate targeted community development effort located south of that house and that a public-involvement meeting is scheduled for March 19.
Director Hines asked for a full cost breakdown for agenda item 8 (truck purchases), including how much is allocated to the chassis versus dump bodies and which vehicles are being purchased. Walter from Fleet said the chassis and freight liners are from Rush Truck Center and that the dump bodies will come from Hillbill. Hines asked the city to provide a line-item breakdown for the chassis and the dump bodies.
The council also approved adding M‑1 and M‑2 to the consent agenda and was told a Cumberland road-diet draft will be on next week's agenda for a vote. Directors confirmed items 12 and 13 had been deferred late last year and that staff had coordinated with adjoining landowners.
Next steps: Staff to provide the requested cost breakdown for item 8 and to proceed with public-notice steps for the March 19 meeting on item 5. The council adjourned after brief follow-up requests about insurance and other administrative topics.
