There have been complaints of the Town tractor being used quite often at the school and the Town not being paid for the use of it. The Clerk will write DeWaine telling him not to go to the school with the tractor unless he has been notified by the council to do so. It was discussed that Ted Spivey can't be mayor since he is Justice of the Peace. A new mayor will be chosen at the next meeting. It was decided to ask Al Miller if he would be on the Council. Mr. Neuzil presented his bill for his work on the water project including trips to Des Moines; and Chicago, phone calls, postage, etc. This is $1499.28.

Water- Mr. Reed said the FHA is willing to pay the $1000 for the tank site, but this should be done soon. Mr. Neuzil said he has already started on it. It was decided the fence that will be around the water tower property should be a foot or so inside the property line. The outside foot will be filled in with gravel. A representative from General Filter and Auto Controls will meet with Dale Flansburg on Friday and show him how to operate the water plant. Mr. Reed said four water samples have been taken. Two of them were safe and two were not. There is no chlorine in the system now, but it will be added Friday. The Council is satisfied with the adjustment made in Chalupa's credit on the difference in the size of the service pipes. Mr. Reed said in a few years there might be a build up in the pipes, but probably not. Andrews Tank Service would like to pay the town for grass seed and have the Town seed it next spring. The Council agreed this would be all right. Ken Herdliska asked the Council the procedure for obtaining a building permit for a garage. Glenn Potter made the motion to accept the following money. Jerry Michel seconded it. By a roll call vote- Aye- Allen, Flansburg, Michel, and Potter. Nay- None.
