',inclosed is a copy of a memo from Mr. 8ioco, Director of Community Services relating to our plen of attack on grasshoppers this spring and summer. as will be in atten- dance at the meeting and may have some further comment and be available to answer questions. • B. Lake Park Improvements - Report Ammo is enclosed relating to this - basically what is going on is that the Urban Drainage District has agreed to do $14,500 worth of drain improvements in the Lake Park area, and at no cost to the City. I might just add here that these improvements were obtained primarily through the efforts of the Community Development Department. John Rupp contacted Urban Drainage to see if we wouldn't qualify for certain improvements that were being made in areas around the district and this one happened to be top priority and the district agreed to fund our request. C. McKee Letter - Re: Election Costs You will recall at the last meeting, Mr. McKee asked if it was possible to have Mr. Kahan pay for the election, and I requested that he send us a letter making a formal request to that effect and indicating that was the wishes of the members of the CPLF. In retrospect I now have changed my mind, I feel that it is only proper that the City do that so there is no room for any criticism on any- body's part as relates to Mr. Kahan's involvement in the election process in any way - specifically financially. D. Reschedule - March 17, 1981 Council Meeting. Requesting that Council reschedule March 17th meeting until Thursday, March 19, 1981. The basis for that is we moved up the March 3rd meeting to March 5th and it just seemed appropriate to move up the second meeting also so that we have the full two weeks spread there. E. Police Cars - Authorize Purchase - State Bid. Enclosed is a copy of • memo. In years past we have purchased vehicles either one of two ways - we have either taken our own bids if vs weren't satiated with the models,stc that the State bid offered; or we have actually just bought through the State at their bid price and this year that is exactly what the Chief would like to do. The prices are lover. They also have the type of vehicle, size and etc. that he desires for the department. What we need is Council's authorization to proceed with that purchase - on a lease purchase basis, =mamma hes awhoa., arhlimorMashalarnia- arm——.Ear arra ha.. raha.-... haw _raahawed WA a,ah. ha h
