Mark Segsworth, Public Works Manager, re: PubUc Works Capital Budget and Ten Year Plan
Mark Segsworth reviewed the Public Works Capital Budget with the use of a power point presentation and a detailed list of expenditure items.
In particular, he reviewed the township wide facility components; equipment replacement; solid waste initiatives; transportation items and the 2013 construction budget.
Questions were raised with regard to the purchase of a tri-axle as opposed to a tandem, and whether this was an appropriate piece of equipment for the Township. A request was made to see previous years for comparison
purposes and whether the size of it will present any problems for the housing of the vehicle.
With respect to solid waste components, there was acknowledgement for public recycling measures.
There was discussion with regard to scales being located at the Portland Site versus the Loughborough Site and whether that would accomplish the desired outcome. It was felt that consideration should be given to the merits of the scales being in a location between the two sites.
With regard to the transportation initiatives, the Public Works Manager was asked whether Storrington wiU develop a salt management plan. It was confirmed that this will be looked at after the completion of the Bedford
