General Items —
1. Review and approve purchase requisition from the sewer department for 126 feet of 30X14 PVC
sewer pipe. The Public Works Director explained to the Committee the need for this purchase.
He stated the pipe is needed for the Lindy Lane sewer replacement project, and there is a concern
regarding the availability of the pipe. His recommendation is for the City to purchase the pipe
directly from Ferguson and store it until the contractor can install it. Richard Klose made a
motion to approve the purchase requisition from the sewer department for 126 feet of 30X14
PVC sewer pipe. Scot Stokes seconded the motion, all in favor, motion passed.
2. Review and approve purchase requisition from the Fire Department for parts to repair Squad 5.
The Clerk/Treasurer explained this purchase requisition was an odd one because the City had
received a check from MMIA for these parts, and the City was just passing this money on to the
company repairing Squad 5. She stated the purchase requisition was being done to comply with
the purchasing policy and avoid any audit findings should this claim be pulled by the auditors.
Emelie Eaton made a motion to approve the purchase requisition from the Fire Department for
parts to repair Squad 5. Scot Stokes seconded the motion, all in favor, motion passed.
New Business — None
Old Business —
3. Discussion regarding the Cemetery parking lot. The Mayor will ask the City Attorney about the
paperwork for the parking lot.
