Hook Truck and Refuse Packer Purchase: Mr. Klopsch mentioned that the 2019 budget includes purchase of a new hook truck with v-box salt spreader. The hook truck cost is approximately $120,000, and the salt spreader is approximately $30,000. The 2019 budget authorizes a transfer of $120,000 from the Refuse Fund to the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund for the purchase of the truck. Mr. Klopsch is planning to forego this transfer and complete the truck purchase through the General Fund. This is being done in anticipation of a $300,000 Refuse Fund expense in the 2020 budget for the purchase of a new refuse packer.

Safety & Traffic, Mr. Stephens

Gun Safety Program: Mr. Klopsch mentioned that he and Chief Hill recently met with Oakwood School officials to discuss gun lock programs being offered in some area communities. Staff will have additional discussions with the Oakwood Schools before engaging in such a program.
