After further discussion, the Clerk was instructed to contact Mattson Construction by letter to give us an answer by letter, and then to have our agent get a rate after we determine what it would cost. Mr. Marier asked why the loan on the truck hadn't been included under capital outlay; Mr. Hill explained why and noted that it isn't usually done this way. There was discussion on what is included under snow removal; the Clerk stated that the Council had wished to include the snow removal labor under the heading of "all salaries" in the Road and Bridge Fund during the past two years; thus "snow removal" only reflected expenditures for salt sand, snow fence and the contracture' work by Columbus for actual snow removal. It was felt that our budget will be broken down considerably more this fall. Mr. Hill left. The Clerk reported receipt of $1035.47 in final 1970 and 1971 sales tax aids; municipal court fines for February were $42.50.

Mr. Jaworski had met with Columbus Twp. on the price of grader and man; they are requesting $17.00 per hour. Mr. Jaworski questioned raising the price by $2 per hour because of the wage freeze; he thought they might settle on a $1 per hour increase. He stated that Marvin Rehbein would charge $20 per hour, Glenn Rehbein $16 per hour and the County $9.65 per hour plus 20% for fringe benefits and 10% for overhead. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Jaworski to check fur- ther with the County on the total cost per hour and whether they will be avail- able to do work when we need them. Mr. Jaworski had received two bids on the shop equipment and gave particulars. He stated that Grand Avenue Ford had some used heavy duty sanders that we could get for $25 each. After discussion, Mr. Marier moved to buy two used sanders from Grand Avenue Ford for $25 each. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. The remaining items were discussed individually. Mr. Jaworski moved to pur- chase the equipment as listed from NABPCO, Inc., excluding the sander and the two electric drills, for a total cost of $1,693.24. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski will come back on the drills in 2 weeks; a purchase order and a requisition slip listing the items will be made out for the items to be purchased.
