V~u asked m~ to review our c~~raes f ~r the ~.zse of the athletic F~_eld.
I note that the !'azette sta.tPS that the 'School Pistr:ict is delinquent" Z ha,~re
` reque~+.;ed ~billin~ b~zt those you ~resPnted a.re t'~e f_irst recei~red in two .years.
I,
Attached is ~ copy of the a~re~ment submitted to -the P,istrict and. r si_aned by both the City Clerk and. tre then Board Chairman. Its provision
~.re very clear, and on January, 19E9, we paid the claim of $139.72. for the
1968 season. At that time, we alsa paid an employee of Montana Power,
1~e1 Ohlin, ; 125 to adjust the replace lights just before the se~.son started.
t~Je paid .for those lights.
l ~ On tre b~.sis of our assre~ment note that the last football dame is
alwazTs in October so a.RTovember Bill is reasonable but the December bi11
must bP the rPSUl-E of activities in their own shop.
In ?rov o?~~_nion, analyses of the bills submitted should indicate the
following as leaitim~te charges;

the `110 item in June, 1969 does not meet this criteria. ?Jndoubtedly,
tris was -i_n ~re~aration for the Ju1,y affair.
There is no record of the Di.str~_et a.dree~n~ to aay for pole repairs.
Tf an indi~ric~u~l ~io~rd mAmbPr so a.areec~, 3..t is not in the m~_nutes. Tt r is inconcei~r~ble that one public corporation can order work and charge
it to another without some previous ~~reem~nt.
Z had hoped. that we would be billed e~.ch Srea.r to avoid a repetition
of the unpleasantness prPCedin~ the 19E~7 a~re~ment. Perhaps I should make '
E- i_t my business to ~arran~e the billing; f~llowin~; the last dame.
~ If the District is to nay these additional charges, their will have
t;o k~a z~r~sented at the February meeting.

~ { ~ Yovetich stated that the school was not res~ansit~le for rP~airs to the
'r poles but only for the electri_eit~r they use and $10.00 for each nir~ht
dame. Yovetich s~.a.~;~ested thy.+.. ~o meters be ~v.t in and anyone requAstin~
the use of the li ~hts wo,~ld 7o to Montana Power and. uet them turned on. ~
I' This matter referred to the Park Committee to meet ~ga.in w?t,h the school
board and. make a recommendation a.t the next council meatin~ as to what should be done next year.
