Council Member Dowie, Chairman presiding. On Roll Call : Bowers, Dowie, Wilharm Absent: Roehr City Clerk, Larry P. Burger, stated that he spoke with the Iowa State Comptroller regarding payment of the fire engine recently delivered to the City. The Comptroller recommended that the City pay the total bill with regular City funds with replacement of the money after the general obligation bonds are sold on July 17. It was moved by Wilharm, seconded by Bowers that this recommendation be accepted and that a check be drawn for payment immediately. The motion carried. Plan & Program Director Don Temeyer reported on the bids received for the radio maintenance contract to commence July 1 , 1980. Iowa Radio Service has submitted a bid fo $16,944 for a one year period. This bid includes a flat fee for removal and installation of radios of $20.00 and $50 - $60, respectively. The contract does not include work on radios in the Fire Department, Recreation or Conway Civic Center. The repair and maintenance of the police radios is specifically covered in the contract and has been reviewed by the police department and appears adequate. Bid forms have been sent to two prospective bidders with the return of the above-mentioned bid. It was moved by Wilharm, seconded by Bowers that the bid of Iowa Radio Service be accepted. The motion carried. Chairperson Dowie reported that the bids for the Sewer Department dump truck and two pick-ups for the Street Department would be tabled until such time as a bid tabulation form is developed and the request for purchase of all vehicles can be related to the Vehicle Replacement Program. These procedures , as well as relating the cost of each vehicle to each department's allocated capital outlay funds , will be coordinated through the Plan & Program Department. Pat Edwards & Phyllis Henderson representing the parenting group of the Jesse Cosby Center answered questions regarding their request to be funded for one year at a cost of $3,690. Councilperson Burton questioned the geographical distribution of the areas being served, particularly as it relates to other community contributions to the operation of the center. Communities which are currently receiving their services do not participate in funding the agency. Funding the project this year does not necessarily commit the City to funding the project next year. It was moved by Bowers, seconded by Wilharm to contri- bute $3,690.00 to STEP at the Jesse Cosby Center for a one year period. The motion carried. The Finance Committee also requested that the Jesse Cosby Center request that other committee served by this service also be asked to contribute to the operation of the program. Chairman Dowie called for additional business , there was none, and it was moved to close the meeting at 6:55 p.m. Larry P. Burger City Clerk -e;
