October 12, 1976 Page 7 <br />Councilmember Rowley stated the complete prohibition of parking between November <br />and March would cause problems. If anyone has company during the Christmas <br />holidays and has more cars than driveway space, they have to park in the street. <br />She is against the blanket provision. <br />Counilmember Baumgartner stated that in light of what Councilmember Rowley said, <br />the Police Department being compassionate, and because we don't have a lot of <br />control as to when the County plows, this ordinance should be adopted. It should <br />get the habitual snow birds. There are no ordinances that cover all situations. <br />If it does not work we can consider a parking ban during the winter months. <br />Councilmember Rowley stated she is comfortable with the ordinance as it is. If <br />it does not work we will probably have to go with a parking ban. <br />Councilmember Shelquist stated that with the exception of his original objections, <br />if the Attorney and Staff say it is enforceable then he is comfortable with it. <br />It is not the intent of the ordinance to trap anyone, but to minimize the cost <br />of having the County plows coming back because of snowbirds. He favors adoption of <br />the ordinance as it is. <br />Councilmember Hodges stated he agrees with adoption the ordinance as it is. <br />If it does not work we will have to change it and go with the complete ban. <br />Mayor Pickar stated there is no ideal answer, but since the Chief of Police has <br />indicated that they can live with it, we should try it. If it does not work <br />we can change it again. 5 ayes <br />ORDINANCE AMENDING DOG LICENSE FEES <br />Administrator Achen stated the ordinance would eliminate the prorata fee provision. <br />The current prorata fee provision gives a reduced license fee to those who purchase <br />their license after the deadline, which is unfair to those who pay on time. <br />MSP ( Pickar- Baumgartner) for the adoption of Ordinance 256 amending dog license <br />fees. 5 ayes <br />Mayor Pickar explained that the administrative costs are the same whether the <br />license is issued before or after the deadline. <br />PURCHASE OF FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK WITH PLOW <br />Engineer Hubbard reviewed the bids received on October 4th for the four wheel <br />drive truck with plow. Twenty -nine bid proposals were sent out and nine bids were <br />received. A summary of each of the nine bids is in the memorandum. Some dealers <br />had difficulty in meeting Sections A and B in the specifications. Section A specifies <br />a 400 cubic inch V -8 engine with a two barrel carburetor. Some dealers could <br />only provide a four barrel carburetor. Section B calls for automatic transmission <br />with a super cooler package. An automatic transmission was specified because there <br />will be several people operating the truck. The truck will be subject to heavy use <br />in plowing so the automatic should last longer. The lowest bid was received from <br />Superior Ford. <br />
