to review this problem with Legal Counsel and perhaps rebid the
vehicle.
OLD BUSINESS - COMMISSIONERS:
Commissioner Markt asked about the status of new equipment
budgeted for this year. The Manager advised that the foreman's

chipper has not been bid yet, but will be prior to the end of the

problem regarding the downtown utilities. Commissioner Tartufo

Counsel is pursuing this problem aggressively.
