Mayor McKinley discussed the request of Don Hoth, Chairperson of Municipal
Power Study Committee, requesting funding in the amount of $2,000 for the
Committee's activities. It was suggested that funding for this participation
be taken from the contingency line item in the Clerk/Auditor' s Office. It was
moved by Seeber, seconded by Dowie that authorization be given to the
expenditure of an amount not to exceed $2,000 for the Municipal Power Study
Committee. Motion carried.
The request of Police Chief Roger Shook for authorization to seek bids for 1988
marked police vehicles was reviewed. Approximately $60,000 is available within
the current year budget for said expenditures. It was moved by Dowie, seconded
by Seeber that authorization be given to solicit bids as requested. Motion
carried.
It was moved by Seeber, seconded by Dowie that the request for a sewage and
garbage refund for 3132 West Fourth Street in the amount of $64.63 and $41.47,
respectively, be cancelled and that the request of the owner of property at
2345 Lafayette Street in the amount of $62.30 for sewage and garbage
assessments accumulated by previous owners be cancelled. Motion carried.
The oral request of Clerk/Auditor Larry Burger for authorization to purchase
approximately 25 used office chairs from the Surplus Property Division,
Department of General Supplies, was reviewed. Mr. Burger reported that Gary
Blair, Civil Defense Director, had alerted him to these office chairs, which
could be purchased for $7.50 each. Mr. Burger reported that chairs are needed
and that no money has been allocated in the budget for said expenditure. It
was suggested that this may not be a favorable action since the Waterloo and
Cedar Falls Chambers of Commerce have recently undertaken the "Buy Locally
Campaign. " It was moved by Seeber, seconded by Dowie that said request be
denied. Motion carried.
It was moved by Dowie, seconded by Seeber that bills payment be approved as
