A few things stood out in an interview with Austin Rowser, Omaha's assistant director of public works. One of Rowser’s comments on Monday was about the city using contractors. “I would, I would always like to have a contractor for peak seasons that can come in and help, too, and just kind of shave some of that peak off. Unfortunately, we haven't had that contract in a few years. I think it would be beneficial to the city, but we're not in that position currently,” he said. On Tuesday, Rowser answered some follow-up questions.
