the LAWC1N grant. The City has received a bid, with a cost not to

foot contour map. A two foot countour nap would cost about 6911. The
maximum cost would then be C1,511.

Administrator Achen stated that they could temporarily come from
the General Fund but recommended these funds be accounted for separately
as an inprovement project fund. In the future if the Council doesn't
go forward with the storm project they could be absorbed in the general
fund. Otherwise the costs could be charged to the project and assessed.

Engineer Hubbard stated that since the police car which will be purchased
will require unleaded fuel, the water department pickup could have a
smaller engine. The reason for having a 151 V1 engine in the specifications
is because it is the smallest V9 which still requires regular gas. The
61 amp alternator is needed because hydraulic equipment is used off the
battery. The chrome bumper is specified because of rust resistance and
it adds to resale value.
Mayor Pickar stated he felt the snaller VI is more economical and suggested
the specifications be changed.
