City of Newton Finance Committee met April 12.
Here is the minutes as provided by the committee:
Present: Mark Bolander, Raymond Reynolds, Marlene Harris, Rosetta M. York, Larry Brooks,
David Brown, Melissa Brooks, Robert Reisner & Steve Rubsam
• Melissa gave a lengthy and informative department by department overview of the 2018-
2019 budget explaining department budgets and line items.
• Raymond Reynolds spoke of a used hydro-vac the Sewer Department is considering
purchasing. He recommended a hydro wand be installed on the hydro-vac if purchased
for more versatility in separating soil from multiple underground utilities. It's a costeffective
way of locating utilities without the possible damage from digging. The hydrovac
w/wand would be used by all departments. Estimated cost of the wand installed is
$8500. Committee recommends this system based on cost savings and versatility if the
used hydro-vac is purchased.
• 6:58 pm - 7:30 pm Executive Session to discuss part-time and department head wages.
Meeting adjourned 7:31 pm
