THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
Adopted this Order on APRIL 15, 1986 by the following vote:
AYES: Supervisors Fanden, Schroder, Torlakson and McPeak
NOES: None
ABSENT: Supervisor Powers
ABSTAIN: None
SUBJECT: _ Congratulations to County Employee Danny Pellegrini
and the Richmond Road Maintenance Crew
On the recommendation of Supervisor Nancy Fanden, the
Board of Supervisors commends Danny Pellegrini and the
Richmond Road Maintenance crew, for their implementation of
an experimental program that uses a new piece of maintenance
equipment used for pavement grinding. Operating like a
crawler, it grinds up the pavement and loads it into a truck
in the same operation. The Rotomill has huge teeth which
pulverize the pavement into baserock and this in turn is
stockpiled for future use on shoulder repair operations.
The results have been much more than anticipated. The
Rotomill is able to do four days work in one day. It can
cut an area 150 feet long, 6 inches wide and 4 inches deep
in four minutes. Normally, this work is done by a backhoe,
which would take about three hours to cut the same area.
The Board takes extreme pleasure in acknowledging Danny
Pellegrini' s idea to give the Rotomill a try and his
suggestion that the Richmond Crew was the right group to
conduct the experiment. .
I hereby certify ths.this is a true and correct Copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the
Board of Supervisors on the date shown.
