reported that a bid for $87. 55 for the repair work has been obtained from
Whee-Go Custom Built. She suggested that the Tremaynes be given an oppor-
tunity to accept this bid along with an offer of $50 for the labor which the owner
has already put into straightening the door, etc. Councilman Lee moved that
the City offer Mr. Tremayne $150 which would be enough -to pay for the repair
of the trailer at Whee -Go. Custom in the sum of $87.55 with the rest being for
his own labor--this to be in full settlement of the claim, and that the bid from
Whee -Go Custom Built be forwarded along with the offer. The motion was
seconded by Councilwoman Dille; voting was all in favor; motion carried. Attorney
Anderson advised that the check, when written, should have a statement on the
back for.Mr. Tremayne to sign as a release for full settlement on the damage to
the trailer, with the date of the accident to be included in the statement.
Public Works - Councilman Lee recommended that the City's deposit policy re-
main as it is in that a $15.00 deposit is required -on all new accounts which is
to be refunded (or applied on the amount due) when the account is closed, so
no further action was taken on a suggestion m.ade recently by a City water user
that the deposit be refunded after two years to those who show a good paying
record. Regarding the snow plow which is on order, Maintenance Supervisor
LaVern Williams reported that delivery has been delayed due to the shutdown
of the factory (in Wausau, Wisconsin) during the recent gas shortage emergency
caused by severe weather conditions.
Old Business- Councilman Swensen mentioned that most of the repair work on
the damag.ed truck has been completed; but the body shop is still waiting for
one part to be received before the job can be finished. It was noted by Engineer
Butler that more windows have been broken out at Well #6 pumphouse, so replacement
of the glass, at least on one side of the building, with a break-resistant product
should be done as soon as possible.
Nt*w Busiriess- Reference was made to a bill regarding zoning that is to come
before the State Legislature which would create a problem for. cities if passed.

tion made by Mayor' Wehmann that employee, Milford Strong, be promoted to
Grade 4.-,1 starting with.the next pay period. Councilwoman Dille moved to
