February 25, 1974 Mr. Jaworski felt this is an entirely different matter. The 1972 problem is with Chrysler Motors and the bid is with Barnett and they cannot be considered at the same time. Mr. Marier said that in dealing with the seller, his products carry a company warranty and this should be backed up. If not, then we should not deal with that company. The 1972 car has been in the shop for repairs three times. Mr. Marier said don't buy something you're going to have trouble with from a company who won't stand behind their warranty. Mr. Locher said the Council has two choices; They can refect both bids and read - vertise or accept the next low bid with justifiable reasons. Mr. Jaworski noted there is only $200.00 difference in the bids. He moved to accept the bid from Midway Ford for $4,147.00. Seconded by Mayor Bohjanen. On a roll call vote; Mr. Jaworski - Aye; Mr. Marier - Aye; Mr. McLean - Aye; Mayor Bohjanen - Aye. Motion carried. Mr. Jaworski moved to continue to try to get the noise out of the rear end of the 1972 Plymouth. Inform Chrysler Motors that we feel this is still under warranty due to their delays. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Charles Cape, Civil Defense Director, gave the report of the activities of the Civil Defense for the year 1973. He also, included some of the plans for the coming year. A copy of this report is on file in the Clerk's Office. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Cape if they had made any plans for communications in times of III disaster? Mr. Cape said that there is a platform on the new radio tower for their use but an updated radio system is needed. He had considered using the business mans channel since the CB channel is so cluttered. Mr. Marier suggested setting up a portable communications system. He said that he would have some one contact Mr. Cape and assist in the setting up of this system. Mr. Locher reminded the Council of the Land Condemnations hearings to be held on March 1, 1974. He read a list of acceptable people to be used as appraisers in the disputed cases. Mr. Jaworski moved to add the name of Mr. Henry Rosengren. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried. Mr. Marier moved to add the name of Mr. Joseph LaCasse Sr. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mayor Bohjanen reported that he had several request for street lights on the portion of Lilac that is designated as State Highway #49. Mr. Marier moved that we request the State to install the necessary street light on Highway #49 West of Lake Drive, due to the heavy traffic in and out of the Youth Center. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mayor Bohjanen also reported that the trailer that was to be moved in by the Boy Scouts for the collection of paper is in very poor condition and might not be moved in at all unless a better one can be obtained. In the mean time they will designate the City Hall as a collection point, but the papers will be loaded directly into pickups and moved the same day as collected. The first such collection will be Saturday, March 2, 1974.
