Passed this 16th day of July, 1970. - FRANK M. S MI TH Mayor ATTEST: - GALE I. YOUNGBLOOD CITY CLERK 8 , APPROVED AS TO FORM GLENN ABRAHAM CITY ATTORNEY I Attorney Abraham said it is becomming obvious that anything being sold to a municipality, there is price fixing. An ther antitrust suit and the Attorney General here is representing the State with various cities, counties; schools and etc against book companies. It was moved by Councilman Lindsey secondèd by Councilman Scheyer that the resolution be adopted. Motion carried. . -- Mayor Smith said he would like to have the council and the planning commission to look at propBrties that the city owned such as the Snow Cre~property, property by the Lutherin Church, and the cherry street gravel pit, does the city need the property or could it be sold to put into other improvements. 8 Engineer Fflench said he had received the p1an- ri estimate for the Elaine Street Project, he said this would come out of the half cent gas tax monies the åmmunt of money in the fund was a little over 95,000. the estimate for the project was 45,891. He said he would have copies made of the estimate and they would be available to the councilmen tomorrow. Engineer French said whether or not we should take the balance of the money and go further on Walker st. or another project approved from 14th to 19th street on Sheridan, that would have to be kicked around a bit more and if the council so desired he would see that estimates be made on the Walker Street and Sheridan projects for thele could be a possib.i1ity of doing two and maybe all th~ee. witþ the money that we now have on hand. It was the opinion ør~the council to have estimates rnad~ and a report of thoes estimates at the next regular session. Engineer French also stated that if both projects, the Monroe and the Blaine-could be done at the same time, money could be saved by having on.e hot mix plant in the area. Councilman Lindsey said that there was a 11,500. loader setting down at the garage and asked the Mayor if he had checked anymore on the loader, that whe have to 1mow what 1Henre going to do with it, send it back or try to make arrangements to keep it. Mayor Smith said what this, envolves is a 10Ðder for use on the streets, as near as he could see, it 'involves the decision on which way we are going on the streets and as it looks it will be gravel and oil fop a long time, now can we justify in this case for a good used machine whicfu would have to be on a lease purcha~e base, can we justify the Œ e of it and have we got the money soma where now to start leasing it. He said he recognized the need for a loader,' but was not yet sure where the money was comming~from. I 270 MINUTES OF T~E REGUIA R SESSION OF JUNE 16, J~?Q,- G_Q!'J"TIlirJJ]:D - - ---______h___,_,'__-h--- --.---,----------,---,'--, -- ,--- --'-'-'-"------------------------'------------ , " Councilman steve said that he was in favor of the loader and if the money could be found, purchase it. Councilman Lindsey said that he thought the finance committee would have to get together with the City Clerk, City EDgineer and City Attorney to find where the money would be comming from. Mayor Smith said that it could be possible that some of the money could come from the Blaine Street improvement, if the city takes on a fair share of the project, the cost of equiment could be pro-rated to that. Street Supt. Hawley said that both the street department and sewer department would be paying for the machine and felt very cònfident that neither departments budget would be cut short during the balance of the current year. He said that the lease purchase price would be 551.00 per month plus ~ax over a twenty four month period but c~ld be paid for much sooner as funds were available. He also mentioned that the city had paid half the cost of the loader for equiment rental on thè Hastings Avenue sewer project alone. Councilman Lindsey said he would like to make a'motion to go ahead and purchase the machine if we have the money to get it with on a rental basis. City Atto~ney Abraham said he would like to hake councilman Lindsey modi~his motion before the second, modify the motion to the extent to the subject of the a~proval of the lease that they are gong to submit. Councilman Lindsey made a motion seconded by Councilman Judy that the loader be purchased, subject to approval of' the lease. Upon the question, Councilman Scheyer said he was for the machine but basicly disagree with the method in which the motion arose, he said he felt this WaS being ram-rodded through the council and the function of the council is not to act in an executive capacity, the heads of the departments work through the Mayor and he runi2is the departments, we dont, he said he disagreed us pushing this through without the Mayors recommendati~n or the engineers recommendation, in this case we are acting in an executive capacity, this is not what we are designèd _tò do ours is legislative. Councilman Steve said he disagreed with Councilman Scheyer al1together, we always dont have to agree what the Mayor recommends, thats why we are here, to make up our minds, not someone else to make up our minds, now this machine has been here a week, we need the thing, I am for:it. Councilman Scheyer commented to Councilman steve saying if he thought his job was to run the city t¥ou ~e mistaken, the Mayor runs the city through the heads of the departments. Councilman Steve said this was beside the point, I am not bucking the Mayors authori ty, -my authority is appropriating money, at that Councilman Scheyer said that Councilman Steve didnt know his functions as a city counci~man. Councilman Lindsey said he had met with the Mayor about the machine, the machine is here, was being tried out, he said he was not going over the Mayor's head or even thinking about it, the Mayor had told him - dont sell it down the river, that he would like to give it a little more thought, would like to talk to the engineer. Councilman Lindsey said this has been in the f'ire for a long time and wanted to bring it out in the open tonight, he said most of the councilman have looked at the machine and agreed it was something that was actually needed. Councilman Scheyer then stated - you said you would not go over the iÆayors head and this is exactly what you have done. Councilman Judy said that the Mayor did not make a reco~nendation nor has he heard any dissent about it. Councilman Norwood asked Councilman Scheyer - is what you are saying, is that the ~iayor, the City Engineer and Street Supt. should make this decision whether they buy the leader - no responded Counci1~an Scheyer, they make recommendation to the council, because it is the councils decision, it d~nt come ~rom the street supt. to the council. Councilman Norwood said, then :in order to make this proper, we now re"'uest the ¡.Iayor to give us his recommendation. Councilman Scheyre said it would be unfair to put h"m on the spot here. Councilman Linsey added that the Mayor av'points committees to study and make recommendations. Mayor S'nitþ said the street department, street supt. very str'Jngly recommended getting a new loader which would cost aro'Jnd 23 or 25 thousand dollars, he said he had talked to the city engineer and had looked at the situation of the city, how do y'u justify it, how are you going to get the money. He said the city engineer recommandation.was tthat we~ were in no pOsition to even consider getting a new loader. mayor Smith s: id the subject has been discussed by all for a co,-~ple of months, this particular machine which appears to be a good worthwhile machine costs 11,500 and is available and in discussing the road situation in town and in the meantime the city has come up with good gravel at the dump, I begin to lean towards the fact that we maybe could serve best by gettinr; the loader, it liJOuld be used to good advantage, so with tl:is in mind, I have had an open mind, I wasnt strong either way, I am still open to advise either way. He said he also recognized councilman Shheyer's thinking. Councilman Norwood 3aid she did not understand why we have to make a motion to buy or not to buy a loader, the only time we become concerned in it is if we have ta appropriate more money, now if they can buy it and stay within their budget, why are we involved. City Attorney Abraham said that was a good question, a point well taken, however in this particular instance, a small legal point has been completely ignored, we are talkinG about a lease with an option to buy and the situation is such, is that the company is going to submit a form of lease to us for approval, I think in order to enable the department or the committee or whoever is going to do it, go ahead with the thing~they need to be able to tell this man that the cou~cil is in support of it and then he will submit the lease. He said he would like to look at it before. any final action was taken. In order to authorize the Mayor to execute the lease, the council is ßoing to have to pass a resolution at least,- not an ordinance unless there is in need of additional funds. Councilman Scheyer raised another objection say~ng we have discussed revo1-ring funds and utilizing sales tax monies and etc, for which no priorities have been established and now we have jumped the gun on this when we have successfully held the 1 ¡nee Councilman Steve again took up the issue, sa7ing that sales tax proceed Here not involved, that the revenue source has not "et been determind. Engineer French mentioned a possible illegality in not calling for bids. Councilman Steve nuestioned the engineer's involvement in budgeting ma~ters. Councilman Norwood said she hated to do this, but maybe it will help the council make a decision, she said she spent sometime in the clerks office trYing to estimate how much money the street department would have at the end of the year, she said the city clerks figures there would only be about 845.00 and I figure where will be about 6,000.00, t} is is money in the street fund. She said if 1,500.00 is all that is needed, we will hQve enough in the street fund, she said that there would have to be an emergency ordinance to cover the 1~900.aß. So if the only problem is where we are going to get the money, I dont think we have that problem, she said I dont think we should be making a decision tonight, I think it should be up to the street dept the mayor to go ahead and ~ither buy it or not buy it. ' The City Clerk said he would have to disagree with Councilman Norwood as far as having a1l7H~T surplus money in the street fund, but that would be up to the finance committee. Councilman Norwood asked for the original motion that was made. Mayor Smit~ said that the motion was to purchase the loader subject to approval of the lease. Mayor Smit~ said that he knew the need and knows the«~is a problem and såid I do disagree strongly that loo]-ing at the street budget that there is going to be 6,000.00 left in the street dept, there was a need for everyting that is budgeted. Councilman Norwood responded - not in the budget but the amount of mDnev in the street fund, I am saying that there will be a ~al.ance left or 6,000.00- at the end or tne ye~~ 8 I I 8 I 8 I I 8 8 I I 8 I 8 I I 8 2'7J' ----- --- MINUTES OF THE REGULAR SESSION OF J~E 16, 1970,CONTlNUED --- -- Mayor Smit~ said if he felt there was going to be 6,000.00 left in the street fund there would be several things that it could be used f'or. I Councilman Norwood said sheheped the mayor would remember at the end of the year, because she WaS going to point out how much money was left in the street fund. The City Clerk again said that he would grant that there c-ould be that much ,slmwing ~jp~he end of the year but it wouldoBot be surplus monies, most of the monies that w~eft ~ ear- marked for the 19~0 budget. Councilman Norwood said to the Mayor - If you are not going to vote in the next few minutes, she would have to leave. Mayor'Smi~ called for a roll call vote, Councilman Norwood, Lindsey, Stteve, Barnfield, .Judy voted yae, Councilman Scheyer voted nae, Councilman Hoglund absent. Motion carr ied. Councilman Norwood asked to be excùaéd.
