1. Computer memory.
Clerk/Treasurer Halver explained the computer system needs more hard disk memory, as
budgeted for in the Revenue Sharing Budget, and requested permission to order it. The
committee approved recommending this to the full council.
2. Ambulance Accounts Receivable
Fire Chief Larson presented $11,535.48 in Ambulance Accounts Receivable which are deemed
uncollectable and need to be written off. Councilman Nystul so moved but no one
seconded.
Chairman Palmer reported he would bring it up on the floor for full council discussion.
Palmer suggested the bills now at the collection agency be written off and any future
bills turned over for collection be written off at that time.
Chief Larson reported on the status of the accounts recievable balance:
total accounts receivable
112,659
to be written off 11,535
current billings 7,912

Revenue Sharing Budget. Chairman Palmer will put on floor at the council meeting.
4. Amimal Warden
Mayor Kennedy reported one half of the sick leave and retirement costs of the Animal
Warden would be charged to the Garbage Department and the new Animal Warden is working
half-time. A final decision on the source of funding has not yet been made.
Councilman Nystul suggested we look at delaying the planned retirements until next fiscal
year and used that budgeted money. He also said he would support whatever the Mayor and
Clerk recommend.
5. Meeting

bidding procedures. (Meeting rescheduled during council meeting to 8:00 am. same date.)

Chairman Palmer asked the status of the Troxler Electronic Laboratories, Inc., claim. It
had not been approved because the wrong accounts had been charged for the expenditure.
Clerk/Treasurer Halver will check on it.
