Regular Council Meeting <br />October 21, 1996 <br />Page 7 <br />Parker asked how much money he anticipates putting toward fixing the little truck-will it be worth <br />it? <br />Chief Mohr said, in the memo, he expla.ined the master plan as well as the bid comparison. He said <br />this itern was placed in the 1995 and 1996 budget. Chief Mohr said tabling this would add three <br />months fo the project. He said they needed this [new] truck this weekend. The little truck stalled <br />when they pulled out -of the station. When they get the new truck, the little truck would revert back <br />to a brushfire truck-and not respond to life-threatening emergencies. (Additionally, they cannot <br />carry the equipment they need on it.) He said they would not put a lot of money into it he estimates <br />it would cost about $1,500. <br />Mayor Rinker said he does not expect to have a vote tonight since Council President Fixler is absent. <br />He suggested everyone read the memo thoroughly (if they haven't had an opportunity to do so <br />already.) He said a decision has to be forthcoming at the next Council Meeting. <br />Council President Pro Tem Cinco asked 1Vliss Heath to put this item on the November Caucus <br />agenda. She said the vote will be taken when Council President Fixler is here. <br />Mayor Rinker asked if anyone had any questions not addressed in Chief Mohr's memo. <br />Mr. Busa asked if the delay will-cause additional expense. <br />Chief Mohr said yes, there will be an additional expense. The cost of the truck went up $4,000 since <br />October. It would probably go up another $3 - 4,000. He does not see the length of time the bid <br />quotation is good for in the bid documents. He will contact the company the first thing in the <br />morning. <br />Mrs. Cinco said Council President Fixler could call a special emergency meeting to vote on this if <br />necessary. <br />Mr. Busa said the majority of the Safety & Service Committee members recommend this. He thinks <br />Council should save money by not waiting. <br />Mayor Rinker said we can always call a special meeting. He wants everyone to be comfortable with <br />this. <br />A motion to authorize the annual allocation to the Conimission on Aging in the amount of $4,000 <br />Mr. Busa, seconded by Mr. Marquardt, made a motion to authorize the annual allocation to the <br />Conunission on Aging in the amount of $4,000.
