Mayor Fulp requested a voice vote. Motion by Councilmember <br />Sandoval, seconded by Councilmember Hutton, for roll call vote to <br />approve the MOU between the City of Colton and the International <br />Association of Firefighters, Local 935 - Fire Unit and Authorize <br />Staff to Sign on behalf of the City carried with Mayor Fulp voting <br />"No." <br />Aqenda Item No. 3 <br />Councilmember Hutton inquired if the action to reject the bids <br />would affect the facility or the permit. Wastewater Superintendent <br />Billy Roth replied there were three bids - 22,000, 12,000 and <br />8,000. His study found that the 8,000 did not cover all parts or <br />labor; the 22,000 was too high and the 12,000 was not placed in the <br />bid because of bond. Mr. Roth informed that the system was <br />supposed to have been installed last year. Councilmember Hutton <br />inquired if this would cause any punitive action against the City <br />and Mr. Roth answered negatively. <br />Motion by Mayor Fulp, seconded by Councilmember Bennett to accept <br />staff recommendation to reject all bids for the System to Monitor <br />and Record pH, conductivity and turbidity at Wastewater Treatment <br />Plant. Unanimous vote. <br />Agenda Item No. 5 <br />In response to Councilmember Hutton's inquiry, Police Chief <br />Lunsford explained that due to the loss of 5 clerical personnel, <br />officers are handwriting reports which take long hours. He <br />described the proposed system which involves the use of computer <br />and stenotypists. Councilmember Hutton inquired if any of the <br />laid -off personnel would qualify for this position and Police Chief <br />Lunsford indicated they would not as it is a specialized position <br />requiring years of study and training. <br />After discussion, Police Chief Lunsford informed there are <br />stringent guidelines for the use of asset seizure funds established <br />by the state and federal government and that financing for this <br />project is allowed through asset seizure funds for one year; <br />thereafter, it is expected the City will pick up this expense. <br />Motion by Councilmember Bennett, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to <br />approve staff recommendation. Unanimous vote. <br />Agenda Item No.12 <br />Councilmember Hutton inquired if the City was going to contract out <br />a portion of the billing service. Assistant to the City Manager <br />Daryl Parrish explained that this was to provide more convenience <br />to the City's customers, which would allow them to pay their bills <br />on Fridays and Saturdays. This will be a good service for the <br />Customers and the City and it will be at no cost to the City. <br />4 <br />ADD n A ,nnr <br />
