Present were the following: Presiding: Nile Boyle Councilman: Jim Morris Sander Larson Morgan Garner Councilwoman: Darlene Blackburn Also Present: Mary Smith, City Attorney Rose Bagley, City Clerk Richard Horner, Treasurer A group from the News Gathering Class at Ricks College was at the meeting to learn what goes on in the City. RE: MINUTES APPROVED A motion was made by Darlene Blackburn and seconded by Morgan Garner to approve the minutes of January 19. All Aye. RE: 2% COMPUTED AT UTAH POWER AND LIGHT Nile Boyle told the council that the computer at Utah Power and Light had computed the 2% before they gave the BPA credit. A motion was made by Sander Larson and seconded by Morgan Garner that we tell Utah Power & Light to compute the 2% after the BPA credit. All Aye. RE: PROPOSED COMPACTOR Farrell Davidson presented a proposal for a new compactor from Packmore. The new compactor would go on the new truck, the one we have is worn out and is costing a lot to maintain. We are having to put 55 gal of Hydrolic oil in it every three days, which costs $150 each time. The new compactor is the same thing only up-dated. The new one would have a control mounted inside the truck and one driver could handle it. It would take only 30 seconds to pick up a dumpster and dump it, now we have to hook up the cables and hope it doesn't fall. We have to alter the dumpsters a little. We will still be able to use the old truck with the new truck for a back-up. The HL25 Compactor is $12,690, they will mount the truck at the factory for $814, they will mount the compactor in Pocatello for $2500, plus the freight which would cost $1230. It is 1650 miles one way to Amerillo, Texas, Farrell said he figured that you could save the $1230 if you went to Texas to get it. It would necessitate a man going down, and six days driving time and about 5 days to mount it on the truck. The council suggested that Farrell check with some other compactor companies and some other cities. A motion was made by Darlene Blackburn .and seconded by Morgan Garner to put the Compactor out for bid. All Aye. RE: INSUFFICIENT FUND CHECKS Nile Boyle told the council that the City Hall is having a lost of problems with insufficient fund checks. The Mayor and Richard think we should put a $3.00 charge on any insufficient checks. Mary Smith was instructed to check the legality. RE: COLOR FOR LOGO Nile Boyle told the council that we need to choose a color for our Logo. A motion was made by Jim Morris and seconded by Darlene Blackburn to approve the Blue and Yellow color. All Aye. RE: FIRE TRUCK FOR SALE Sander Larson discussed the Fire Truck which Madison County was putting up for sale, it had been previously discussed at the last meeting. They have publically 1~ advertised and there are some communities .that are interested. If we are interested we need to submit a bid. The low bid price would be $76,000, so we would have to at least have to bid that. This could be bought over a 7 or 8 year period of time. We would set up a tax anticipation note for the payment this year, and then set the budget up for the payments. The budget will have to be amended. A motion was made by Sander Larson to authorize the committee and Mayor to submit a bid for the fire truck, seconded by Jim Morris. A11 Aye. RE: PICTURE OF THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL Sander Larson told the council that we need to get a picture of the Mayor and Council for the Centennial book.
