An unidentified resident indicated it is important for the City Council to remember that speeding is a very important issue near the park. He urged the City to get the assistance of the Sheriffs Department to control the problem. Mayor Probst noted the Staffhas contacted the Sheriffs Department. Ms. Billie Schacht, 1683 West County Road F, indicated the Sheriffs Department had two cars drive through at 8:30 a.m., but by that time the majority of the traffic had already gone. Public Works Ventilation System City Accountant Post indicated due to the increased safety awareness, it has been pointed out by several people, including Don Zehm, a former State OSHA Compliance Officer, that the Maintenance Building is in need of a ventilation/make up air system. Public Works Superintendent Stafford indicated the City solicited bids for a complete job, which would meet all codes and OSHA standards. The job would inelude all plumbing, electrical work, duct work, and carpentry. Mr. Stafford indicated of the four mechanical contractors contacted, three came out and did a complete inspection of our maintenance building. All three returned bids ranging from $12,080 to $23,190. Mr. Stafford indicated Staff recommends the Council approve the bid from Apollo Heating and Ventilating Corporation in the amount of $18,400.00 for a new make up air system for the Public Works Maintenance Building. MOTION: Hicks moved, and Malone seconded a motion to accept bids and award bid to Apollo Heating and Ventilation Corporation in the amount not to exceed $18,400.00 for a new make up air system for the Public Works Maintenance Building. The motion carried nnRnimously (5-0). Mayor Probst indicated he realized the expenditure was large, but noted the City had no choice, safety comes first. Public Works Pickup Purchase City Accountant Post noted the pickup had been budgeted, but this purchase would be above what was budgeted.
