~~~ 2 COUNCIL PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS - No Comment. STANDARD COMMITTEE REPORTS Budget/Appropriations - Mr. Bennett requested an executive session late_ in the meeting to discuss the typographical errors in the new pay ordi- nance. He asked Mayor Beebe how Chief Hejcl is doing. Mayor Beebe said he had talked to Chief Hejcl this afternoon and tests have revealed no serious illness. The Chief said the problem stems from tension and nerves. Plenty of rest should correct the situation. Pub]_ic Safety - Mr. Flynn said there had been no meeting but Council re~:~ived the bid results on the two Police Cars. Deacons was the only one submitting a bid for $7515.OO.per-unit. Mr. Beatty stated that a letter, that was presumed to be a bid, was held until the opening date. It turned out to be a request for infor- mation regarding the specifications and he felt the cars should be re- advertised. Discussion was held on the legality~of rejecting Deacons bid and also a moral obligation as Deacon has revealed his bid. Mayor Beebe stated that the envelopes should be required to state a bid is enclosed. _ Discussions were held on the coverage the Village is getting in the Sun Press. Chief Stevens pointed out that the bids on these cars are lower than the outright purchase price of previous cars. Mr. Grogan commented that with the economy today we might get a better deal if we readvertise. Mr. Beatty questioned Chief Stevens on the engine size.
