Members present: Chairperson Dowie, Seeber and Miller.
The Agenda, as proposed, was approved.
The request of the Police Department to rescind bids accepted for two
10-channel VHF programmable transceivers was reviewed. At the time
the recommendation was made, it was the Police Department 's
understanding that the bid was for two transceivers. The actual bid
price was for only one unit and exceeded the allocated funds within
their budget. Therefore, it was moved by Seeber, seconded by Miller
that the Finance Committee's action accepting the bid of Radio
Communications Company in the amount of $1,134 for a programmable
transceiver be rescinded. (See Minutes of March 26, 1986). Motion
carried.

Department from the basement of City Hall to the Annex, additional

Hall Maintenance Budget. It was moved by Miller, seconded by Dowie
that authorization be given for this telephone change. Motion
carried.
