Councilman Clinton asked if anything had happened with the dlgester
repairs at the Sewer Plant? Mayor Armstrong stated the pump was
broken down. Councilman Bevel asked if we could call one of the
professional digester contractors and get the job done ~s it appears
we don't have the equipment to handle this. Councilwoman Crigg~r
asked when the Contractors were coming back? Councilman Clinton
stated they were waiting on us to clean the digester and notify
them. rlayor Armstronq said the main problem is no one advised us
what we had to do, they took the job for $12,400.00 and we understood
it was to do the job completely. Councilwoman Crigger stated it
was apparently a communications break down between the Engineers,
the City and the Contractors.
Councilman Clinton stated the road arader was broken down, what
are we going to do about it? Mayor~Armstrong stated we will have
to call a heavy equipment man and it might run $1,500.00 to
$2,000.00 Councilman Severance said notify the proper authorities
and have the malfunction diagonosed.
Councilman Clinton asked why can't we find someone to fix the
police cars. Councilman Bevel stated it appears the City doesn't
have qualified personel to do the job, but this is not true, Mr.
Cutshaw is handicapped by personel an equipment. Councilman
Severance asked Chief Katez if he was satisfied with the work when
he had taken the vehicles to the local dealers? Chief Katez said
not altogether because they repair only what we send it up there
for, what we need is a permanent. maintenance program. Councilman
Severance duly made a motion to authorize the Chief of Police to
take the police department vehicles to the authorized dealer for
diagnosis and repair, limited to the Ordinance limiting expenditures
