Gerald Leach
i
The P . R. I .D.E . Committee met on January 27 , 1994 to select the
"Employee of the Quarter" for the fourth quarter of 1993 . The
committee reviewed a suggestion submitted by Gerald Leach .
With the expansion of the City into more rural areas and with the
addition of certain equipment to the Street Department fleet, the
availability of water for certain activities was and is becoming
more of a problem. Mr. Leach came up with an idea for an
additional water source. The Street Department no longer sprays
pesticides and their spray tank was removed and was being used as
a trailer. Mr. Leach resurrected the tank, mounted it on an
existing small truck, and hooked up a small pump that runs
electrically from the vehicle ' s electrical system. With the water
tank the truck is now used 600 of the time in the sidewalk repair
program. The truck is now equipped with a hydraulic pump, a lift
gate to raise and lower the sidewalk grinder and concrete saw. The
other uses of the truck include 20% for mowing operation as a
shadow truck and the other 20% as a water source on other jobs .
The conversion of this truck has created a more convenient and
useful vehicle than any identifiable labor savings .
