Special Council Meeting 4/1/96 Page Two Chief Mohr said the memo he wrote to Council explains the history of this event. Note: A copy of the memo is attached to the minutes (to provide details.) We had a purchase order from Panzica in June of 1995. We will save $1,500 by removing the items from being purchased by Mr. Panzica (because the project manager would not have gotten a cut.) Chief Mohr said the Finance Director asked us to hold the purchase order until 1996 because we would not be receiving the appliances until then. He explairied this [recent quote] is a package deal; we can't exclude the stove. The kitchen is built and we need the appliances now. Mrs. Cinco said Safety and Service discussed this at length. The committee recommended, with a vote of 2-1, to approve the entire package including the stove. Mr. Marquardt said he is still of the opinion that the stove is extravagant for a fire station. A brief discussion was held. Council President Fixler asked if the company has a guarantee on parts. Chief Mohr said yes, but he does not have it in writing. Council President Fixler said he thinks their approval should include the condition that we get a 15-year parts warranty from Thermidor (in writing.) If not, then we would reassess. Mr. Busa, seconded by Mr. Ferrante, made a motion to authorize the expenditure of $11,410 to B&B Appliance for the purchase of appliances for the new fire station with the condition that we get a 15-year parts warranty from Thermidor, in writing. ROLL CALL: AYES: Mr. Buckholtz, Mr. Busa, Mrs. Cinco, Mr. Ferrante, Mr. Fixler and Dr. Parker NAYS: Mr. Marquardt Motion Carried Expenditure Authorized Fire Station Painting= Additional expenditure in the amount of $458 to Thomarios Chief Mohr said the contractor recommends stain because it does not chalk and is easier to maintain than a high grade of paint.
