Public Safety & Traffic Committee
Robert Molleck, Chairman
There was not a quorum to conduct business due to the absence of Alderman Nidiffer and
Alderman Molleck. Mayor Bohler served as a voting member of the committee to make up a
quorum.
In the absence of Chairman Molleck, Alderman Meade presided. Chief Elam distributed the
monthly written police report. He thanked the local MADD Chapter for honoring four police
officers. Chief Elam also acknowledged Vivian Foster, a graduate of the citizen's police
academy, for her volunteer hours and committed community service.
Chief Stanko distributed the written monthly fire and ESDA report. He added that last month
there was a large increase in the call load which is up 6% overall. Chief Stanko asked the
committee for guidance on selling or trading the old fire truck when the new vehicle arrives this
summer. The company that is providing the new vehicle offered a $2,000 trade in. However, if
we prefer to sell it outright, they will post it on their web site at no charge. They feel the City
would be able to sell the vehicle for more than $2,000. Attorney Weber said that the council
must pass an Ordinance for the manner of sale of personal property before disposal of the
vehicle. A Motion was made by Alderman Meade, seconded by Mayor Bohler to allow the
company to place the fire truck on their web site at no charge to the City stating that it would not
be available until summer and allow the City Attorney to draft an ordinance for the manner of
sale of this vehicle. Voice vote motion carried.
No other business was discussed. The Public Safety and Traffic Committee adjourned.

Lake, B ildings & Grounds Committee
David Nidiffer, Chairman
In the absence of Chairman Nidiffer, Alderman Shores presided. There were no items on the
agenda for the Lake, Buildings and Grounds Committee. As an informational item, Clif gave an
update on the installation of the new water line. Today they were up to 13~' Avenue.
No other business was discussed and the committee adjourned.
Public Works, Water & Sewer Committee
Kevin Meade, Chairman
Steve White presented a memo regarding a contract modification with Crawford, Murphy, and
Tilly Engineers on the filter rehabilitation project. CMT requested an additional $24,200 for
additional work and hours required to complete the project. City administration felt that the
project should be completed at the level CMT had estimated but for a negotiated cost of $15,000.
This will be paid out of the 84 account. A Motion was made by Mayor Bohler, seconded by
Alderman Shores to approve the additional cost to Crawford, Murphy and Tilly for $15,000 for
additional work on the filter rehab project. Voice vote, motion carried.
No other business was discussed and the committee adjourned.
