Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 282-23, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 282-23, transmitted by Finance Director Deanna S. Sako, via Communication No. 480
dated September 15, 2023, authorizes the payment of funds of a later fiscal year and of more than one
fiscal year for a multi-year lease for one landfill compactor for the Department of Environmental
Management.
This resolution authorizes the Mayor to enter into a five-year lease agreement at an approximate
monthly cost of $25,000 to replace equipment deemed inoperable due to fire loss.
Environmental Management Director Ramzi Mansour provided a brief presentation on this measure.
Committee Member Michelle Galimba asked Mr. Mansour if he could explain how the fire started.
Mr. Mansour replied that the fire began around 2:00 a.m. The machine was idle, and no one was on
site to see what initiated the fire; it was extinguished at 7:30 a.m. that morning. Ms. Galimba asked
what the lifespan of this compactor would be, and Mr. Mansour replied that it would be about 25 years.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 282-23, and
recommends its adoption.
