<br />~RICAN LEGION cont'd <br /> <br />SEPARATE FINANCE DEPARTMENT <br /> <br />VEHICLE LEASES <br /> <br />-4- <br /> <br />Mayor Waschak asked Hr. Ross to get <br />approval from the surrounding merchants <br />in that area and then bring the matter <br />back to Council. Councilman DiCarlo <br />asked that the request be submitted in <br />writing. The expenses will be paid by <br />the American Legion. <br /> <br />City Administrator Wurl reported that the <br />previous Council authorized a separate <br />finance department. This will take sev- <br />eral months to finalize. What was needed <br />was the ratification of the former <br />Councils approval of that concept. Council- <br />man Berry asked Attorney Morris how much <br />of this duty falls by Ordinance or Statute <br />on the City Clerk and how much falls <br />elsewhere. Attornev Morris stated that <br />basically the City ~lerks office would be <br />expanded. Administrator Wurl stated that <br />it would be a simple division of the <br />responsibility's in the department and <br />the clerks authority would not be inter- <br />ferred with. There will be a specific <br />department as related to finance. Council- <br />man DiCarlo asked if there would be a <br />need for increased employment. Mr. Wurl <br />said that at the moment we would use only <br />present personel. Councilman Domenico <br />asked about the water billing. If a monthly <br />statement will be sent in the future. <br />Administrator Wurl stated that the auditors <br />were asked to come up with some recom- <br />mendations on this. <br /> <br />Bids were submitted in comparison on <br />four leases for 2 cars and 1 truck for <br />36 months. This was provided in the 1974 <br />budget for 2 additional vehicles and <br />1 truck for a Code Enforcement officer <br />and 1 City Administrator vehicle on a <br />lease purchase basis. Requests were made <br />for cost of leasing. All bids were pub- <br />lically advertised and notices were sent <br />to bidders of 4 lease companies in <br />Denver. Two companies responded and bids <br />were open, the lower was First Municipal <br />Leasing Company with a 2 year lease. <br />City Administrator Wurl recommended that <br />the Council authorize the leases because <br />of the time it takes to have the vehicles <br />delivered. After discussion on the Code <br />Enforcement officer, Councilman DiCarlo <br />moved that the Council proceed with the <br />leasing of 1 Police vehicle for 24 months <br />and 2 vehicles for 36 months. <br />
