17y resolution because the commercial ambulance company is going to come in here with their "band aid" paramedics -and the cost of sending out a paramedic unit will be borne by our citizens. Councilman Hayes reported the cost of a paramedic run can go as high as $250 and therefore, he would suggest that the ambulance regulation be rewritten to state that when the City (Fire or Police Departments) request an ambulance, that we will receive a plain non -para- medic ambulance. Councilman Hayes said of course, if a citizen calls the ambulance company and they request a para- medic ambulance they will be responsible for the cost. City Manager Huffaker said as far as securing our own ambulance the City will continue to look in the area of Federal Grants, etc. It was Council consensus to proceed on a trial basis with the private ambulance non -paramedic unit and review at the end of six months to see if there are any problem areas.

City Manager Huffaker and Planning Director Williams reported that currently there is one tape recorder that is being shared by the City Council, Planning Commission, Recreation and Parks Commission, Housing Advisory Appeals Board and Cemetery Commission and that conflict arises from time to time when different board meetings are held on the same night. Councilman Rehrer asked if it would be possible to secure a less expensive machine. City Manager Huffaker and City Clerk Ramos explained that a less expensive machine has to be operated manually as they do not usually come equipped with transcribing accessories, footpedal, etc. On Council consensus the sum of $300 was deleted from Capital Outlay and Staff was instructed to look into procuring a tape recorder with the $100 allocated.

Mr. Williams said that if the City receives noise complaints, the County will come out with their machine and record the noise.
