WASTE BALER REPAIRS (PARTS): Ron Weatherman, the Solid Waste Director, said the
number two solid waste baler had been budgeted for a relining ($70,000) this fiscal year. The baler
recently had mechanical problems and replacement parts need to be ordered. Tri-State Equipment's
quote is $7,000 more than the budgeted amount, however, Weatherman said his department could
absorb this amount. He also said Tri-State was the only source for the replacement parts - - they
could not be duplicated anywhere else. Weatherman added he had been pleased with the baler's
performance during the past five years.
Susan Blumenstein, the finance director, said that on July 1, 1997, G.S. 143-129 (f) was
rewritten for sole -source purchases.
Blumenstein also mentioned that an insurance claim would be filed in reference to the repair
work.
ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Haire adjourned the briefing at 6:15 p.m. for a refreshment
break prior to the 7:00 p.m. meeting.
