1. Call to Order
Mayor Clark called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
2. Roll Call
The roll was taken with all Council members present and a quorum for conducting business established.
3. Old Business
a. Water Filter Plant Equipment—Forklift
Mr. Utt reviewed a list of quotes for three new and one additional used forklift in addition to the original unit
discussed in the previous Council meeting (listed as Option 1 in the packet). He informed Council that the
original forklift discussed, with the exception of the chassis, had been outfitted with new equipment. The
warranty for the battery of the unit was still one year. His concerns in purchasing a new unit were having to
do sealed bids, since the value of a new unit would exceed $30,000.
Mr. Utt said he felt comfortable in purchasing the original used forklift. Payment could be done by using the
Other Operating Expenses account in the Filter Plant Budget, or by using reserves. He said he favored
using reserves since $42,973 in excess revenues had been placed in reserves and using the Filter Plant
account might be a budget strain since treatment chemicals and other items were taken from that line item.
Following a short discussion of disposal of the current unit, Mr. Goodman moved that Council go with
Option 1 for forklift replacement in the amount of $15,670 and to remove those funds from the Budgetary
Fund Balance in the Water Fund -20860.1400. The motion was seconded by Mr. Radcliffe and approved on
the following roll call vote:
Lane R. Penn -Aye Joseph K. Goodman
Brooks R. Dawson -Aye G. Tyler Clontz
Gregory C. East -Aye James A. Radcliffe
4. Adjournment
There being no further business, Mayor Clark called for a motion to adjourn. Th
East, seconded by Mr. Goodman and carried by unanimous voice vote at p.m.
