City Hall.

Absent: None.
Also Present: City Administrator Thompson, Jerry Bauer, City Engineer Kaldunski,
and Mr. Jim Romberger, representing Duo Plastics.
2. A discussion on the feasibility of extending water service west along
Highway 50 to Duo Plastics was discussed. Mr. Romberger stated that, due to
insurance considerations, he is interested in being serviced by the City water
system at Duo Plastics. The extended discussion centered mostly on the financing
options and whether or not the sewer line should be extended. Action was de-
ferred pending a decision on sewer and whether or not the project was financially
feasible.

to explore the possibility of joining the two water systems.

and refurbishing the interior of the tank.
3. Finishing the landscaping around Well #4.

The City Engineer was asked to prepare cost estimates on these projects after
which priorities will be assigned.
5. Administrator Thompson advised the Board that approximately $10,000 worth
of engineering supplies and equipment are required to permit the City Engineer
to operate more efficiently. He asked that this cost be split among the four
City departments most in need of the Engineer's services. Motion by Juenemann,
second by Bohm to donate $2,500 into a common fund for the purchase of engineering
equipment and supplies. APIF, motion carried.
6. The Board was asked to consider purchasing a new pickup truck which would
be maintained by the City. The Board deferred action on this proposal until
the up to date financial status of the Water Fund is supplied to the Water Board
by the Finance Department.

8. Wayne Henneke, City Finance Director, was requested to attend the next
