Council Member Dowie, Chairman, presiding. On Roll Call : Bowers, Dowie, Roehr, Wilharm Fire Chief Smith presented cost comparisons for ambulance services for the years 1973 & 1980 for items including salaries of employees, gasoline, and vehicle costs. Current and proposed rates that were recommended by the Safety Committee were discussed including rates for emergency calls, transfers, etc. The Finance Committee asked that an ordinance be submitted to the full Council establishing the rate increases recommended by the Safety Committee. The City has received word that the new fire engine has arrived , however, it cannot be delivered until payment is made. The bond money which had been thought to be available for its payment has not yet been bonded for. Due to the bond market situation, bonds will not be sold until July, 1980 rather than the February, 1980 proposed date. The Finance Committee recommended that bond money from the July, 1980 issue be used to finance the new engine. It was moved by Bowers, seconded by Wilharm not to pay the bill of $21 .63 sub- mitted by the Human Rights Commission for flowers and a vase for their secretary. The motion carried. Jerry Sexton, City Electrician , brought up the poor condition of the City's building located at the corner of East 6th & Bluff Streets. The City stores some equipment and materials in the building.
