Present: Eder, Dunn, Administrator Klaers, Maintenance Foreman Wisdorf, Fire Chief Pott. The City Administrator presented the background information for the two requests listed on the agenda. A request for 1985 from the fire department is for replacement of the grass rig; a request was made by the Maintenance Foreman for three items needed in 1984. Fire Chief, Fran Pott, presented further background information for the need of timely replacement of fire department vehicles as many of the fire department's vehicles are approaching twenty years of age. The Fire Chief indicated that reserve funds have been put away the past few years for these purchases and he estimates that only $20,000 (instead of the planned $25,000) would be needed to replace the 1963 grass rig.
