180 <br />Regular Council Meeting <br />6/20/94 <br />Page Twenty <br />Mrs. Cinco said the Finance Committee said they are not going along with this until <br />1995. ROLL CALL: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None Motion Carried <br />Rules Suspended <br />Mr. Fixler, seconded by Mr. Basile, made a motion to enact Ordinance No. 94-36. <br />Mr. Fixler said when Mr. Amendola gave his presentation to Safety and Service, he <br />made it quite clear that the Service Departmen.t needed this truck. We have also had <br />several discussions regarding trade-in value and how it would disintegrate over time. <br />If there is discussion whether there is a trade-off for one piece of equipment or another, <br />then that is a totally different discussion. He sees no reason to hold off on the truck a <br />year because the trade-in value will disintegrate by 50% if not more. <br />Mr. Amendola said this company is not going to give the same allowance--within <br />another 30 days they will lose another $1,000 on each vehicle. <br />Mayor Rinker asked Mr. Amendola to explain the basis for his requests for vehicles for <br />the record. <br />Mr. Amendola said they are taking a ton and a half vehicle instead of a two ton vehicle. <br />A two ton vehicle goes for about $67,000; a ton and a half goes for roughly $40,000. <br />They have offered us $13,500 trade-in. Mr. Amendola said they are trying to get a <br />balance of their trucks. When there is heavy snow, a heavier truck is needed to move it. <br />When there is lighter snow, a lighter truck is used for the cul-de-sacs. This cannot be <br />done with a big truck because it comes with a fixed plow. A ton and a half truck can be <br />used for any of the hauling they do. The dump truck they want to trade in is 1988; the <br />pick up is 1989. <br />Mr. Flynn said some of the feelings from the Finance Committee is that there are other <br />areas that are a little bit neglected like possibly local drainage areas; if they can hold on <br />a certain item and have more funds going toward the drainage areas. <br />ROLL CALL: AYES: Mr. Basile, Mr. Busa, Mrs. Cinco, Mr. Fixler <br />NAYS: Mr. Flynn, Mr. Stephens <br />Motion Not Carried <br />Ordinance Failed
