The motion died for lack of a second. Motion duly made by Councilrran Cairnie all the bills be paid and be made a part of the minutes, seconded by Councilman Ridgdill. Councilman Siller said he objected to the bill from Jones Electric Co., Inc. as this bill was made by one councilman. The Council had no kno'\'lledge of this bill. He said when the Shuffle Board' people asked for courts they said they did not need lights. He asked tte City Attorney if he could disqualify Mr. Cairnie from voting on it. Councilman Siller also said the bill was not right as it did not come before the council; any bills of any account should be approved by the Council. Attorney Mathas said he thought Councilman Cairnie could vote on the bill. Councilman Siller said he was appointed to the Recreation Denartment and he said he knew nothing of this bill until Friday Night.' He said he felt he couJd do the same thing as Councilman Cairnie and order lights for the street he lives on and submit the bill to the Council. Councilman Cairnie said there were no new lights installed. He said the lights were taken do~~ to put in the new courts but the construction that existed after installing the new courts would not have been sui table for the lights; it would have been a traffic violation. He said all they did was put in a heavier co~duit and also a new under ground cable. Councilman Siller said when bids were submitted for the two new courts this was not brought to the attention of the Council. He said he was appointed to the Recreation Department and felt this should come under his department. l~yor Armstrong said it is true it was not approved by the council and the council didn't know how much was done, but he added that it was quality work and quality material. It was not an over charge. He also stated that at a previous meeting he agreed to spend an equal amount of money for the Youth Recreation in this City. Attorney }~thas suggested a Resolution be passed on how much can be spent without tne Council's O.K. Councilman Siller said that close to 11200 r~s been spent so far on Shuffle Boards and Friday Night he asked to spend just a little money for the Little League and was turned down. He said he asked to get sorr.e lumber and was told to beg for it at the lumber yards. ffie said if he will have to beg for lumber he 1i.Lll resign as Recreation director. !':a.yor Armstrong said the City owns the Shuffle Board Courts but it doesn't 0~11'1 the Little League Ball Park. He said we have spent money on the Little league and r~ve been proud of it. Councilman Siller said he will resign as head of the Recreation Department effective now if he is only consulted on the purchase of small items. After being questioned about keeping up the road at the Little League !~yor Armstrong said it is not a platted road. He added that he felt he had been very cooperative with the Little League. Page 2 of 5 pages n II .v ~ v u u 1.1r. Eugene Gawriluk said he felt the Youth of the Community have been left out. Councilman Ridgdill said none of the council is against little league. He said he approved $300 or $400 last year for little league. ~x. Burt Belt said the Little League needs sturdy lumber to put in dugouts, fences, etc. He said they can not use old lumber. Councilman Ridgdill said he will try and come down to the ball park and see just what is needed. Mr. Davenport, '\Vho lives outside the city limits, sa.id he felt the money should come from the heart and there shouldn't be all this arguing. He said he had given up $30 a day just so he can help with the Little League. . ~.ayor Armstrong corrnnended }fr. Davenport on this. Councilman Siller said that Councilman Tingle volunteered to give the Little League two doors for the toilets any time they want to pick them up.
