MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />DECEMBER 22, 2008 <br />STREET The City Administrator presented a draft agreement with the City of <br />SWEEPER Falcon Heights for the joint purchase of a street sweeper. The <br />Administrator reported that the Little Canada City Attorney has reviewed <br />the agreement and had no changes.

He noted that <br />the quote the City received for the street sweeper is below the State- <br />contract price.
