The Clarendon City Council approved up to $22,000 for repairs to a sanitation truck in a called meeting Monday night.
City Administrator David Dockery said the engine went out on the sanitation department’s roll-off truck – the truck used to haul trash to the Memphis landfill. The 1998-model truck is a necessity for city operations, which prompted the called meeting.
A factory re-built Mack engine is expected to cost $16,298.75 plus more than $4,000 for installation and additional costs for delivery from Chicago.
The aldermen will meet again this Thursday at 7 p.m.for their regular meeting and will face a busy agenda.
One of the most prominent discussions this week will be recommendations from KSA Engineering for street and drainage improvements to Third Street between Allen Street and Bugbee Avenue. The street was part of the city’s most recent paving project but has not held up to heavy rains over the last month.
Aldermen will also hear an update and consider action on code compliance issues at the old Neece house at 602 S. Bugbee and discuss taking action at the old Ruby Bromley house at 702 S. Carhart.
Approving updated contract rate content for groundwater sales to Greenbelt Water Authority is also on the agenda as is a discussion and possible action on the city’s water rates.
City officials will also be selecting a Mayor Pro-Tem, considering the annual housing authority report, and appointing a local rabies authority.
