<br />and has served its purpose. To keep the truck fleet in good condition, equipment is replaced
<br />when it begins to need costly repairs. Councilman Nemeth asked why this truck was picked to be
<br />replaced and how much repairs might cost. Mr. Peck, from the Wastewater Treatment Plant, said

<br />the clutch replaced last year at a cost of $190. It is ready for new brakes. These vehicles

<br />be traded in or if they could be sold at auction, perhaps for more money. Mr. Krueper replied
