Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, Tiffin, Iowa, November 5, 1969. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Bream. Present: Ned Allen, Dale Flansburg, Glenn Potter, and Ted Spivey. Also Edna Miller, Wayne Reed, and Ralph Neuzil. Absent: Fred Moore. Water- Wayne Reed said we will advertise for the bond sale in the Press-Citizen on November 7 and 14. The bonds will be sold at a Special Meeting on December 1. The Clerk is to send out the notices from the paper to area banks that may be interested in buying the bonds. The contractors have been notified on the bond sale. Reed said Goerat probably won't be back until spring. If the Carroll Co. would come in and we wouldn't have the money then we could issue warrants which the FHA would later pick up and the interest would be 5%. He thought Chalupka might be back this fall. Mr. Neuzil sent for the estimate of the cost of printing the bonds. The Northern Bank Note Co. in Chicago would do it for $450. The Bayard News in Bayard, Iowa will do it for $250. Glenn Potter made the motion to have the Bayard News print the bonds. Ned Allen seconded the motion. All in favor. Mr. Reed said the well now in use is 60ft. and was put in a few years ago. The new one is 300ft. The quality of the deeper one is not quite as good, but the quantity is good. It can produce over 20 gal. a minute. The extra $3000 to Latta for the new well is covered in the contract. Dale Flansburg made the motion to pay $2000 on the $4000 street bonds.
