Bills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified MOTIONS Councilman Bookey MOVED to pay the bills and Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. 00 ORDERED. R-2. Purchase Orders Exceeding $2,500 MOTIONI Councilman Moore MOVED to approve the purchase orders over $2,500 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Councilman Bannock asked about the laptop computer being purchased for the well house #3—what does "approved by DEC/grant eligible" mean? Kornelis answered that the contract called for a hand-held programmer and software. He said the hand-held programmer holds only one program so we would need one for each lift station and one for each application. Therefore, he said, it would be better to have one laptop which will hold all the programs needed for all the 15 lift stations, 3 well houses, an underground pump house and the sewer treatment plant. He said DEC gave the City a credit for the laptop of $1,099. Councilman Moore asked about the additional audit fees for FY96 audit for Mikunda Cottrell: "Did we go over the budgeted amount?" Finance Director Semmens answered, "Yes." He stated the auditor came and talked to them. He said the auditor did mention in his report the extra things that he did, but he didn't bill us for about $4,000 of extra hours on the project because Semmens negotiated with him and they decided to settle on $1,800 that Semmens would bring to Council for approval. Semmens said the extra hours were due to the situation that was here at the time and that it was to be expected and "is not a bad deal." No objections. SO ORDERED. I-1.

Council eookay - He asked if anything was heard about the medallions to be used on the signs in Old Town. Acting City Clerk Paulsen stated that she was told the sample medallion was not acceptable so Bill Kluge is going to do some further research. Moore - He stated he saw the medallions and that they were "f limsy" and overpriced. He said Bill Kluge is trying to get something like the ones being used by the Rotary Club. Also, Moore said he wanted to express his frustration at being the ad hoc member of the Historic District Board. He said lack of quorums is a problem and something needs to be done. Councilman Bookey said he sympathizes because he used to have the same problem when he was on the Board. Bookey stated there is such a thing as a sunset and, if they don't want to continue, maybe the Board should be disbanded. Moore said there are four members who are dedicated, but five are needed for a quorum. City Manager Ross stated that Administration will research the grant to see what the options are once that grant is finished. He said that until the grant is finished he doesn't believe sunsetting is an option. Ross said he will bring that information back to Council at the next meeting. Measles - Nothing. Bannock - Nothing. ITEM Kt ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at approximately 7:20 p.m. s transcribes and sybmitted by: w ng t07-Az o+►ri 2te
