DISCUSSION: Scales
ACTION: Alderman Hermes called the meeting to order at 5:31 p.m.
Alderman Hoppe made a motion and Alderman Gilmour seconded to approve the minutes as written and placed on file. All yes. Motion passed.
Evans explained that the company he ordered the scales from made an error
in the billing. They quoted the City a
price for 4 scales when in fact it was for 2 scales. Evans stated that it is difficult to weigh a truck with only two
scales and it would take twice as long to do. The City attorney is writing a
letter to the company stating the company quoted the city for four scales. A possible compromise was discussed with the
City offering to pay half price for the additional scales. Evans will let
everyone know of the outcome. In the meantime he will get the scales certified.
Officer Soucie is making the “dummy” scales; signs are on order, and Dow
Chemical will allow the trucks to be weighed on their back parking lot.
DISCUSSION: Dispatcher/Officer Hire
ACTION: A dispatcher has left and the part-time
dispatcher stated that she would be interested in the full time position.
