The newest one is 11 years old and the other two are 34 years old. Estimated cost is $140,000.00. By state statute there are two way�3!:ato purchase - general obligation bonds or a special tax levy. A memo from Finance Director stated pros and cons of both. Both go to the vote of the people. The bonds require a turnout of 40% of the registered voters, cost of advertising, selling the bonds and adminzktration over several years. The levy can pass by a simple majority of voters and completed in two years. If we can get it on the November ballot, we can assess enough in 1985 for the down payment. By the time it is ordered and delivered, we would probably have both years collected. The truck can also be purchased on a lease/purchase agreement. Fire insurance rating for the City \of Kalispell is dependent on equipment and personnel. Councilman Nystul moved to direct the City Attorney to draft a resolution of intention to place on the November ballot the issue o.f purchasing a fire truck in the amount of $150,000.00 at 5 mills per year for two years.

About two years ago the proposed annexation was for two pieces of land, one location was Billmayer's Water Supply and Kalispell Realty, and the other was for the Federal Land Bank and Production Credit Association. The annexation procedure bogged down because of a land use problem. Later.the Production Credit Association asked, by letter, to drop the annexation.

Now, Billmayer's are asking that their property be annexed. In the meantime, Production Credit Association has moved to Missoula.
