OTHER'S PRESENT: Dave Michael
A quorum (3 or more) present, the following action was taken by
the Committee:
There was a lengthy discussion regarding the purchase of 20
yard and 40 yard containers, sensor cells, and two used garbage
trucks from the City of Billings.
The Committee recommended to purchase the two used garbage
. trucks ($17,000) and two sensor cells ($12,000) from the loan
money which was borrowed in January, then delay the purchase of
one sensor cell ($6,000) and the garbage containers ($12,000)
until late summer or early fall. The recent rate increase should
allow the cash reserve to be sufficient to purchase this equipment
at that time.
The $18,000 expenditure will need to be included in the
1993-94 budget.
Discussion regarding electrical wiring for the installation
of plug-ins for vehicles at the FAP complex and a seperate line
for the computers. It was suggested that this be put into the
1993-94 budget.
The committee recommended transferring $7,500 from the
general fund 1992 tax collections to the Capital Projects Fund-
Ambulance. The ambulance service did not receive the UPS
grant.
Don presented a list of ambulance charges in the amount of
$10,348.62 to be written off. Most of these charges are from the
years 1988- 1991 and are deemed to be uncollectable. This
represents about 5g percent of the total charge billed to patients.
Motion by Norman Orr, seconded by Ron Marshall, to charge off
uncollectible bills in the amount of $10,348.62. Motion carried.
(This concurs with the ambulance committee's recommendation of
2-9-93).
