*** Blue Sky Broadcasting Reporter Mike Brown was in attendance of the meetings throughout the day. Mr. Gutshall said he will be back working on the two mile section of District Five Road and he will have calcium chloride put on the road so it is a better road for winter. Mr. Gutshall spoke of a rotary disc mulcher he would like to purchase and he explained the various uses for this equipment. Mr. Gutshall said the quote from the manufacturer is $47,000, but he realized to retrofit an existing excavator would be very expensive. Mr. Gutshall mentioned a past discussion about the Kootenai River Project in which Alan Flory was to get rid of the brush. It will take a lot less time by having this equipment, according to Mr. Gutshall. Mr. Gutshall suggested getting quotes for two new excavators from CAT and Rowan Machinery. CAT has offered $100,000 as a trade-in and Rowan offered less, according to Mr. Gutshall. CAT was only an additional $41,000 to add the mulcher on to the excavator, which is already set up for it. CAT had a much better bid this time, according to Mr. Gutshall. Mr. Gutshall said with a trade-in buying an excavator with a mulcher head will cost $160,000 after trade in. This would not affect the 2012-2013 budget and because of a trade in, the first payment wouldn’t be due until next budget year. Mr. Gutshall said he has to
do the project close-out for Mr. Gutshall spoke of Solid Waste Superintendent
Claine Skeen joined the meeting at Mr. Gutshall discussed the
state’s request for an easement across county
property near the landfill as well as looking
into obtaining an easement from the state for Chairman Smith said he felt having the property to the west of the landfill will make material available to cover the existing landfill when the time comes to close it. Mr. Skeen said that property may also be available as a landfill when this current site closes. Mr. Gutshall said in
today’s dollars the county would not receive
much from an appraisal so it would be good if
the county could do an exchange for a
right-of-way in order to get a usable easement
