Gladis let the board know that he was ok with what they presented as long as it was ADA compliant. No approvals were needed at this time.
There was a motion by Lagerstrom and seconded by Schwartz for approval to surplus the old White Ambulance. The City Finance Officer will get the details to surplus the ambulance.
The Board discussed the water tower project coming up. They discussed if during the project they should insulate the riser pipe. The cost of insulation would be an additional $20,500.00. Mayor Gladis was going to call Chad Edwards to discuss this further. No approvals were needed at this time.
Trever Schwartz talked on behalf of the White Volunteer Fire Department. They purchased a rescue unit from Hendricks Fire Department in the amount of $32,500. They plan on selling the old chassis and eventually purchasing a new one. It will cost the City of White no additional money at this time. Motion for the approval of the purchase by Wright and seconded by Lagerstrom.
It was noticed during a water meter check that some of the Churches in White currently have no water meter in place. It was discussed by the board that it would be a good idea to have one in place to watch for leaks and to start charging the Churches for the use of water. Motion by Lagerstrom to get water meters in place and to start charging Churches for their water use and seconded by Sunderland.
Nothing major on the finance report. There has been some complaints about the way the city is looking. There was a list submitted to the Board members so they could go over and maybe decide on something in the future. Also the finance officer wanted to make aware that an annoyomous donation was made in the amount of $1200.00 to help out people who were having trouble pay their utility bills. There was 5 account where $240.00 was applied to help them out. It was a very kind and generous donation and the accounts that received it was very appreciative!
Maintenance report was given by Chad Landmark. Chad talked about the meeting he had on the Water Tower project. They will be here on the 15th to start setting up. He also noted that during the time of the project there may be some low water pressure times and the town may have a faint paint smell.
The board discussed on if they were going to hire summer part-time help. The concerns were made about budget and not having enough in the budget. After discussion they decided that $15.00 an hour and not to exceed $4800.00 during the summer. They suggested 20 hours a week until the $4800.00 was reached. Motion to approve by Lagerstrom seconded Wright.
