64 <br />March 25, 1974 <br />Mr. Marier asked if there had been any correspondence from the Anoka County <br />Commissioners relating to the Open Space. The Clerk said she had received none. <br />Mr. Bohjanen said that the material had been delivered to Attorney Locher office <br />and he will bring it with him. Mr. Marier asked that this discussion be tabled <br />until Mr. Locher arrived. <br />Mr. Jaworski presented specs for a truck. Each Council member has a copy. The <br />various points were discussed, especially the two way plow and the need for a <br />second sander. <br />Mr. McLean asked how this compares with the 1971 truck we now have. <br />Mr. Jaworski said that the truck was bought from a lot and was bought without <br />equipment, - only the chassis. <br />Mr. Zelinka asked about the cost of a sander. Mr. Jaworski said we paid about <br />$1300.00 for the one on the truck at the present time. <br />Mr. Marier was concerned about maintenance problems with the two way plow. He <br />questioned the necessity of this kind of equipment. He felt that some checking <br />should be done as to the safety, operation and maintenance on this kind of plow. <br />Mr. Jaworski said Mr. Backlin is doing some checking. This is the sort of snow <br />plow blade used by the State Highway Department. <br />Mr. Zelinka felt that if the cost is prohibitive, he would question the need for <br />such equipment. He felt that a second sander was needed more. <br />Mr. Marier questioned the advantage of an automatic transmission over a standard. <br />He felt that there was more maneuverability with a standard transmission. <br />Mr. Jaworski said that no two people drive the same and with an automatic <br />transmission it is less likely to have major repairs on the clutch or trans- <br />mission. <br />Mr. Marier asked if he had a quoted price on the old truck for a trake in? Mr. <br />Jaworski said, No, no quoted prices as yet. He will take these specs and get cost <br />estimates for the next meeting. <br />Mr. Zelinka moved to table consideration of the truck until April 8, 1974 when <br />Mr. Jaworski will have cost estimates with and without the sander and double arm <br />plow. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried, with Mr. Marier voting, No. <br />Mr. Marier asked Mr. Jaworski the source of the specs and Mr. Jaworski said from <br />the County. <br />Mr. Jaworski asked that the Building specs be tabled until the April 8, 1974 <br />meeting. <br />Mr. McLean reported on the Park Board meeting. He had hoped to present the Council <br />with bids for the fence to be installed at Lino Park but he has only one bid at <br />this time. This will have to be tabled until the bids are in. The Park Board <br />did pass a motion recommending that the lowest bid be accepted by the Council and <br />the fence be installed as soon as possible, under the guidance of Mr. Gotwald. <br />1 <br />1 <br />
