Chief Gassensmith told the council that two of the part-time dispatchers have found full time jobs. He would like to hire Marsha Sobieralski as a stand-by dispatcher. Gaddis made the motion to hire Sobieralski. Seconded by Heil. Carried. Gassensmith asked how the council wants to handle the enforcement of the Fence Ordinance. Holmes answered that individuals should be informed, by letter, that their fence does not meet the regulations in the ordinance, and give them a reasonable amount of time to come into compliance. According to Gassensmith, there are two large boats sitting in public parking lots. The boats are used in

the summer, and stored on the lots in the winter. There have been some complaints about the boats. Attorney Homes said that there are storage yards or marinas where boats can be kept. He added that the Motor Vehicle Code can be applied to this situation, and recommended that they be treated like cars, and therefore subject to those laws. Gassensmith feels that a curfew ordinance, making parents accountable for the actions of their children, would be a positive incentive to keeping children off the streets at night. The type of ordinance Gassensmith would like to see adopt would bring the parents into court the second time a child is picked up for a curfew violation. Holmes is going to review the curfew ordinance recently adopted by South Bend. A Neighborhood Watch program is something else Gassensmith would like to work out in Walkerton. He would like to start an alertness program, to make people aware of the fact that they have a civic responsibility to their neighbors. It will take some money for posters and advertising, and Gassensmith asked for the council’s okay to ask local agencies if they would like to help support this

program. Superintendent Back told the council that the people who bought Gabaugh’s house would like to have city water. Back said he would like to run water lines at least to the entrance of the Hickory lanes subdivision. The telephone company is going to bury cable in this area, and Back would like to put the water lines in at the same time. Total cost for the water extensions would be approximately S3BOO. Discussion included the fact that we would only pick up one new customer at this time, and also the fact that we are going to have to do some extensive repairs to the water holding tank. Jaske made the motion to table the water extension until we see how mach money will be needed to repair the holding tank. Seconded by Gaddis. Carried. It will take an estimated S3OO to extend water service to just the residents of the Gabaugh house. Seconded by Heil. Carried. AMBULANCE: Attorney Holmes informed the council of a committee meeting, which included ambulance personnel, Rizek, the clerk and himself, where the ambulance bids were reviewed. He said that it’s a confusing situation to try and

determine the lowest bid, that we know meets the specifications. The three low bidders, Marque, McCoy-Miller and Dietz McLain, who are still being compared. Marque, who was almost SIO,OOO less than McCoy-Miller, did not meet the specs in a couple of substantial areas. There remains to be questions about Dietz-McLain who was about $6,000 less than McCoy-Miller. Holmes recommendation was to table the bids until the next meeting, and hopefully the council will be in a position to make a tentative award at that time. Holmes proposed that DietzMcLain be given this time to reassure us that they do meet the specifications. Jaske made the motion to table until the next meeting. Seconded by Reese. Carried. There were two bids for installing new sidewalks. Pyramid Excavation & Construction, $7.00 per linear foot to install sidewalks where there is sod, and SIO.OO per linear foot to remove old sidewalks and install new. Fill sand, as needed, is included. Wiegand Construction, $7.08 per linear foot. Add $75.00 for less than 50’ in length, add .30 per linear foot for fiber mesh and add $6.00 per ton for sand fill. Heil made the motion to table a decision until Back can review the bids. Seconded by Reese. Carried. CITIZEN’S INPUT: John Webster said that there is
