He added that <br />he personally felt it would be a tremendous thing to have in the City. <br />Mayor Pickar read that statement received from Mr. Notaro. Councilmember Rowley asked <br />if they had addressed the question of how to determine who would get the pumps first <br />and time limits and priorities and so forth. Mr. Notaro replied that they would have <br />to address that at a later date. <br />Councilmember Rowley asked if the pumps would require instructions or if a maintenance <br />person would be required to demonstrate them to each user. Mr. Notaro replied that he <br />did not believe so. <br />Councilmember Baumgartner asked where the people using the pumps would be putting the <br />water. Mr. Notaro replied that he personally would pump the water to Groveland Park. <br />Administrator Achen stated the Council would have to set guidelines and decide how <br />much hose to purchase. He added that the hose was very expensive and could cost almost <br />as much as the pumps themselves. <br />Councilmember Rowley stated she would be interested in hearing comments from the citizens <br />who would be paying for the pumps. Mrs. Lotovich stated that she would be in favor of <br />having the City purchase pumps. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth stated he felt a time limit of 4 to 6 hours should be set on <br />the pumps, rather than the three days suggested in Mr. Sargent's recommendation. <br />Mr. Notaro replied that the Task Force is expected to come up with a recommendation <br />soon on the whole problem and that the pumps could possibly be used by the maintenance <br />department then. <br />
