The city of Cortez is having a competition to name the five new vehicles joining the Public Works fleet, according to a news release late last week.
The Refuse and Recycling Department will add four new trucks, and the Street Department is acquiring a new sweeper. The city wants residents to help name the new trucks.
“We are excited to add to our fleet, and we felt that naming the trucks was a fun way to engage our residents,” said Public Works Director Brian Peckins. “We hope to have a lot of participation and are excited to see what folks come up with.”
The committee will not accept any suggestions that are vulgar or profane. One name will be selected for each truck, and each winner will receive a $100 gift card, the news release said.
Residents have until Thursday, July 20 at midnight to submit their suggestions. Winners will be announced the following week.
Paper entries will be accepted at City Hall, the City Service Center, the Cortez Rec Center, and the Cortez Public Library. Online entries can be submitted at https://tinyurl.com/Cortez-Truck-Naming-Contest.
