II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Bid Award for Repair of Fire Truck
Staff is seeking Council approval to award a bid in the amount of $31,922.75 to Geo Heiser Body Co. Inc. for
repair work needed on Fire Truck #1355.
The damage was caused by a drunk driver who failed to yield to emergency lights on May 3, while the truck
was stopped at an incident response. Another bid was received for the repair work; however, Heiser is the
preferred bidder due to locality and the quality of past City repair work. All repairs will be reimbursed
through insurance. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 8 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Fireworks Permit: Annual 4th of July Celebration
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a Fireworks Permit Application submitted by Mr. Tom Whitacre for
the fireworks display at the City's annual 4 of July celebration at Fort Dent. Mr. Whitacre has provided the
fireworks display for the past several years without incident. The Fire Department will add two additional fire
watch personnel to this year's event to ensure any fireworks debris that falls on the Sounder FC practice fields
at the north end of the complex is dealt with promptly. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
JUNE 8 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
C. Sales Tax Report: March 2009
Shawn Hunstock reviewed the March Sales Tax Report, noting that receipts are down 24.4% compared to
budget estimates and 21.7% compared to the same time period last year (both are YTD). Council reviewed
these actual receipts for the entire first quarter at the Budget Workshop on May 28. Shawn commented that
between the current 3% reduction and CIP delays, the City should recognize a $3.5 million in savings.
