OTHERS PRESENT:
Chairman- Donna Kilpatrick

Dave Michael
Jim Flisrand
Darrell McGillen
Don distributed the overtime listing for the pay period ending
9-10-96.
Dave presented a purchase requisition for a new computer for the
sewer plant. The one they have is too small for their needs, but
the Clerk's office can use it. Drive A is not working properly,
plus the IBM PC purchased in 1984 is very slow. This computer is
being used for word processing and the Clerk's index. All the
files can be transferred from one computer to the other.
Dave also presented information regarding the proposed sewer rate
increase.
Darrell McGillen requested permission to advertise for a new fire
truck. Engine No. 1 had the pump go out on it during a recent
fire. It would cost $10,000 to $15,000 to repair it, and $25,000
for a new pump. It has a 1964 chassis and if the pump were fixed
or replaced, it would still be on old truck. This truck could be
converted to a bush truck for about $10,000. The fire committee
has recommended to go out for bid on a new truck which is estimated
to cost around $155,000. Federal Signal Corp. has financing
available for 5.75%. This could be financed for up to five years.
The local banks would be given a chance to bid on the financing.
There is some money available for a down payment.
Motion by Ron Marshall, seconded by Gay Easton, to advertise
for a new fire truck. Motion carried.
Purchase requisitions were approved as follows:
GENERAL FUND
Gas for police and animal control
vehicles
Microfilming of records
Four Motorola radios to replace stolen ones
