Hiler Clerk-Treasurer The Clerk reported that she had gotten the okay from three Council members, and had purchased earthquake insurance. Our insurance agent had advised that the company was only going to offer it for a short time, and said that we should act now if we were interested. The premium was prorated at $229.00 for part of a year. The Clerk also reported that our premium does not go up according to how advanced our EMT's become. Our agent said that the insurance company feels that the better trained an individual is, the more the margin for error decreases. NEW BUSINESS; Tom Coffey, Park Board President, told the Council of the need to repair a few items, and replace some things in the Park Department. Coffey asked the Council to okay transferring some of their appropriations to other catagories. Williams asked if repairs to the inside of the Dunn house had been made. Coffey replied that they had furnished the tenant with paint, and she had done the work herself. Rizek asked if it involved the roof, and Coffey said that there isn't anything wrong with the outside roof. He added that the problem was with the inside, and paint coming off the walls. The Park Department had gotten three quotes to resurface the floor of the Community Building, and Coffey said that a quote of $3,810.00 from Barden Construction was the lowest. Other requisitions included one for bucket swing seat, belts and “s” hook pliers for $549.00; trash receptacles for $534.00; picnic tables for $1,100.00 and a swinging park bench and inground benches for $1,198.00. The requests total $7,125.00, and estimate of available funds at year end is around $6,000.00. Coffey said to omit the benches if there is not enough money for everything.
