Public works: snowplow reconfiguration underway, meters and new water-operator trainee announced
Summary
Public Works staff said they expect to have a plow-ready truck for the next storm, outlined plans to reconfigure plow equipment between vehicles, reported roughly 50 meters in service, and announced hiring James Diller as a trainee for the Bayswater operator.
Public Works reported operational updates on meters, Christmas-tree lights, snow equipment and staffing.
The presenter (S3) said about 50 meters are functioning and crews have been working on Christmas-tree lights and winter tasks. On snow operations, S3 said one snowplow truck recently arrived and another is on order; staff plan to move plow equipment between vehicles to ensure at least one fully plow-ready truck for the next storm.
S3 announced the hire of a new employee to start Monday as a trainee for the Bayswater operator. "He's going to be the new trainee for the Bayswater operator," S3 said, naming the hire as James Diller and noting he is from Blue Springs and has family ties to the local water-operator trade.
S3 and other board members discussed plow compatibility between different manufacturers and plans to swap frames and plows between trucks so the fleet is operational for upcoming winter weather.
