City approves emergency purchase of garbage truck
emergency purchase BEST original
McMinnville officials have approved the emergency purchase of this new front-end loader garbage truck because the city was down to only one unreliable truck that was operational six days a week.
McMinnville Public Works Department has a new garbage truck after an emergency purchase last week. Before the $253,613 purchase was made, the department was down to one 2000 model front-end loader for its waste collection, a potential disaster for the city’s service. “If we lose the truck we have, we have a lot of six-day-a-week customers,” said Public Works assistant director Brad Hennessee.
