The Clerk reported the October 2010 sales tax deposit was $2,815.71.  Correspondence was received from the NRD and Five Rivers RC&D.
The monthly claims were reviewed.  Council Member Moran asked about fire department and rescue department claims and asked if anybody oversees their purchases.  The City Clerk explained that each department has $8,000 in their budget and they do not go over their budgeted amount.  Council Member Moran said he would like to see some oversight on what these departments are allowed to purchase and said when he was in the fire hall last year, it was in horrible condition and would like to see something done to clean-up the fire hall.  Council Member Moran would like to the Council to tour the fire hall so the council can see the condition of the fire barn.  Council Member Whisler said if that is what Council Member Moran wants to do, he will need to put it on the agenda.  Council Member Whisler made motion to accept the claims as presented.  Motion was seconded by Council Member Hastings.  Vote indicated: “AYE” All.  Motion: Carried.  December claims paid are as follows:

Regarding the proposal received from Control Services for the new variable frequency drive at the water plant, Council Member Moran said he talked to the valve supply company and they told him they would give him contact information for a valve repair company that works on this particular valve.  Moran wants to meet with them as a second opinion to the matter to determine if the work recommended by Control Services really needs to be done.  Topic is tabled until February meeting at which time Moran will bring his findings.  Moran said if he makes a determination prior to the February meeting, he will inform the Clerk and a phone poll may be conducted.
Fire Chief Brent Lottman submitted information regarding an automatic aid agreement between Julian/Brock and the City of Peru.   This particular agreement has Peru on the receiving end of aid.  Council Member Moran made motion to accept the Automatic Aid Agreement between Julian/Brock and the City of Peru.  Motion was seconded by Council Member Whisler.  Vote indicated: “AYE” All.  Motion: Carried.
Council Member Moran brought forth discussion and his desire to purchase asphalt crack repair equipment.  He believes by repairing cracks in the asphalt, we can lengthen the life of our overlays.  Council Member Hastings said he has seen this operation before and knows it works.  Hastings asked how we go about purchasing the “slag” material which is to be melted down.  Moran said he believes we can purchase it by the pallet and this may last a long time.   Moran said this would be entry level equipment but if we like it, we could expand on it.  Moran said he would be willing to learn the process to administer the product and he would then show the city maintenance workers how the operation works.  Council Member Hastings made motion to approve the purchase of the asphalt crack repair equipment.  Motion was seconded by Council Member Whisler.  Vote indicated:  “AYE” All.  Motion: Carried.
Mayor Ryan brought forth discussion and the need to ratify the phone poll conducted on January 5, 2011.  Council Member Moran made motion to ratify the phone poll conducted on January 5, 2011 for approval to purchase a 1999 Ford F350 Truck/Plow/Salt-Sander.  Motion was seconded by Council Member Whisler.  Vote indicated:  “AYE” All.  Motion: Carried.
