Mayor Horrell called the meeting to order at 6:03 p.m.  The roll was called, all
members being present.  The pledge of allegiance was recited.  The minutes of
the May 28, 2008 meeting were considered.  MSP:  To approve the May 28,
2008 minutes as written, Frank Primozic/Tim Coe.  All members voted in
favor.

Jim Munyon requested that the Council recognize the members of the American
Legion and address their previous request to receive free water.  Munyon
recommended granting the request exclusively to the organization citing that the
veterans are the reason we are all here.  There was discussion of what to do if
they used large amounts of water and they agreed to make it right with the City if
that occurs.  MSP:  To not charge the American Legion for water or sewer
and to rely on them for good faith to report any excessive use during the
year, Jim Munyon/Roger McKinley.  All members voted in favor.

6:15 p.m.  The Council recognized Brad Baird of Anderson Perry & Associates
who addressed them regarding the bids received for the water system
improvements project.  He said there had been many errors in the bids and had
consulted with the City’s attorney on how to rank and tabulate them.  Based on
the attorney’s advice, Bodiford Construction is the apparent low bidder on both
schedule A and schedule B.  Baird said Anderson Perry had not worked with the
company before, but in checking references got very good feedback on them.
MSP:  To accept Bodiford Construction’s bid of $1,395,128 for schedule A
and $267,383 for schedule B, Jim Munyon/Bill Harrington.  All members
voted in favor.  The Mayor signed the notice of award.  It was noted that it will
take about 15 days to get the bonds in order and approximately 3 weeks before

the project will begin.  The Council was advised that the project representative
will be Lynn Findley and the engineer will be Dave Wildman.

Well #2:  Brad Baird illustrated well #2 on the chalk board.  He explained that it
was drilled in 1979 and is approximately 710 feet deep with 9 pounds of
pressure.  When it was drilled it produced 200 gpm but now only produces 70
gpm but still has 9 pounds of pressure.  He said that the well only has
perforations from 695 feet to 710 feet and that they are most likely plugged.  It
was agreed that the well should be tv’d, the perforations unplugged and possibly
more added.  Baird was asked to keep trying to reach John Marciel to get on the
project as soon as possible.  It was noted that Marciel is out of the area until
approximately June 20.

Planning:  No Report

Landfill:  No report/landfill closed to dumping due to weather.

Public Works:  The Council was asked to consider the recommendation to hire
Ron Combs for the position of Maintenance Worker.  MSP:  To accept the
recommendation and hire Ron Combs as Maintenance Worker, Bill
Harrington/Frank Primozic.

Accounts Payable:  It was noted that an additional payable from the attorney had
been added.  MSP:  To pay the bills including the bill from Michelle Timko
for $936, Roger McKinley/ Frank Primozic.  All members voted in favor.

Resolutions:  The Council was asked to consider a resolution reducing water
rates for users outside the City limits from double to one and one half times the
established rates.  MSP:  To adoption Resolution 2008-04, Frank
Primozic/Tim Coe.  All members voted in favor.

7:30 p.m.  It was moved and seconded to adjourn.

Respectfully submitted:
