Upon the request of the City Manager, it was moved by Councilman Harvey,
seconded by Councilman Nee and unanimously carried to place consideration
of the pubchase of a water truck on the agenda for consideration at this
time.
The City Manager and Public Works Director reviewed the need for purchase
of a water truck in the 1968-69 fiscal year and indicated that a used
water truck was available to be purchased and reconditioned at a cost
not to exceed $4,500 which, if purchased would allow for the removal of a
$10,000 budgetary item in the 1968-69 Budget for the purchase of a new
water truck. The owner of the used water truck, however, wishes to have
a con~nitment prior to the adoption of the new Budget; therefore, the City
Council was requested to consider an authorization to purchase the used
water truck, although the actual payn~nt will not be made until the next
fiscal year.
