Beh Co. was the one with the lowest interest rate. The results of the bids were incorporated in a resolution which was introduced and caused to be read in full by Beverly Birtcher and seconded by Roger Janssen. The resolution providing for the sale and award of $31,000 sewer bonds and approving and authorizing the agreement of such sale and award carried by roll call vote.
