Regarding approval of the Fire/Rescue Automatic Aid Agreement, Council Member Moran said he has a problem with it since it does not state specifically how much the cost will be to the City for the additional response.  Council Member Reeves said it would be the same as a regular response call and that it might also reduce our ISO rating which would lower our insurance premium.  Council Member Reeves made motion to approve the Fire/Rescue Automatic Aid Agreement.  Motion was seconded by Council Member Whisler.  Vote indicated:  “AYE” Douglas, Reeves, Whisler.  “NAY” Moran.  Motion:  Carried.

St. up on the six year plan list and asked about Park Avenue being on the six year plan.  Moran stated since Park Avenue is a secondary federally funded highway, couldn’t the City get some funding for that project.  The Clerk said the City has been working with Peru State College on this and are hoping for a joint effort on the project.  PSC president Dan Hansen said he is working on finding out who could assist with grant knowledge and other resources for assistance.  Moran said that if anybody would know how to find funding, the state should be able to and it is great that the City and the College are working together.   Whisler said he would like JEO to come to our next meeting and discuss details on the 5th Street project as part of the one year plan so we can start getting bids on the project.
Regarding the Storm/Sanitary Sewer concerns at 5th & Nebraska, Council Member Moran suggested we table this topic until the December meeting.
