Two solutions were offered for consideration by 'the Commission; (1) That an immediate expenditure of approximately $l~OOO.OO be made on the present machine in order that it could possibly be used for'an- , other year ~ or (2) That an additional amount of approximately $3~000.00 be appropriated for the purchase of a new machine. It was the City Managers recommendation'that'repairs be made to the present machine with a new onet6 be purchased:;.possiblydtiring .1962; further that the sum of' $1,000.00 be trans- , ferre<i from the amount appropriated, for street Department Capital Outlay to the Street Departmentexpend:i.tures. Motion by,Commissioner Rice~ seconded by'Co-qnnissioner Bowman~ that the, sum of $1,000.00 be transferred from the amount' appropriated for street:Depart- ment CapitaJOutlay to the Street Department Expenditures in order that the front end lo~der might be repaire.g: and used for, another year by the street Department: o Voting Aye: Mayor' Lamkin~ Commissioners Bowman, Lutz, Rice, andWa'lL Voting No: None.

It was eXPlained that this amount was the balance' due on a tract of land formerly owned by the City and used as garbage disposal:grpunds. Approximately:12 Acres of this ground is security for the said note which Mr. Galnmagedes,ire's to r€new for a 12, month period at 4~interest.
