Mayor Elumbaugh asked Mr. Johnny Abbott to address the council regarding the <br /> recent approval to purchase a mini excavator. At the last meeting, the council <br /> approved the purchase of the mini excavator, however, they asked Mr. Abbott to <br /> enquire about possibly adding a hammer to the machine. Mr. Abbott said he <br /> visited with the Kubota dealer and discovered that the original price of <br /> $55,000.00 did not include a 6-way blade which is needed in order to perform <br /> certain tasks. Mr. Abbott got a new price of$63,635.00 which includes the 6-way <br /> blade and a hammer. Councilmember Bryant moved to purchase the mini- <br /> excavator with the blades and hammer. Councilmember Matthews seconded <br /> and all voted for. <br /> The Mayor informed the council and citizens of Batesville that the new automated <br /> sanitation truck is now in service. As of Monday, September 2nd, the city will only <br /> pickup garbage that is placed correctly at the curb and is inside a city container. <br /> Any garbage not in a city container or is outside of the container will not be <br /> picked up. The Mayor noted that our citizens have had ample time to learn to <br /> use the containers correctly. He said if anyone needs an additional container <br /> they can contact city hall and for an additional $7.00 plus tax, a container will be <br /> provided. <br /> Mayor Elumbaugh invited and encouraged the community to attend the Heart <br /> Your Community on September 5t" at the Community Center Gymnasium. The <br /> Mayor said this is a "dream session" to set goals for our community for the future. <br /> LIAISON REPORTS <br /> None <br />
