1. Sludge Tank Trailer - Discussion and possible action regarding
repair or replacement of this equipment (emergency procurement).
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED purchase of
the Fruehauf model under consideration at
an expenditure of $6,250.
The City Manager said one section of the tank trailer they have has
buckled in and they have two options available. They can either repair
it at an approximate cost of $5,000 over a period of 30 days during
which time there would be available a tank for a rental cost of $800 per
month. The other option is to purchase a used 1974 Fruehauf trailer
which they will sell the City for $7,000 with a trade-in of $1,000 on
the old tank trailer. She said the City Engineer suggested that the
City has $250 of welding and cutting work done on the bulkheads inside
the trailer tank and staff recommended this.
The City Attorney said the new trailer has a capacity of 8,500 gallons
and the old one was 6,500 gallons. V/M Massaro said she is in favor of
purchasing the new one but suggested checking to determine if there is
an automatic release valve and whether or not they can put some bracing
on there to strengthen it. She asked the City Manager if she invest-
igated the price of a new trailer and the City Manager said she had not
considered it because of expense. C/M Krantz MOVED to APPROVE the purchase
of the Fruehauf model under consideration at an expenditure of $6,250.
SECONDED by V/M Massaro.

2. Employee_ A,qr Bement - Discussion and possible action with reference
to Michael Welch.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: ACCEPTED the recommendation
of the City Manager's memo to settle the grievance
with reference to Michael Welch.
The City Manager said she gave Council a memo concerning negotiations
that she and the City Attorney have been involved in the last several
months with Michael Welch, Firefighter. She said Mr. Welch has made a
proposal to the City which they find very desirable. He will accept a
$6,000 settlement from the City plus his 1% contribution plan for a total
of $6,584.19. She said she addressed in her memo several concerns
regarding precedents that could be set by decisions in this case by the
arbitrator, the Pension Board, etc.
Jon Henning said the main thing about a settlement like this is there is
no question involved, the costs of continued negotiations are far more
than the amount of settlement. C/M Kravitz MOVED to ACCEPT the recommend-
ation of the City Manager's memo to settle the grievance with reference
