as $30,000.00. The council discussed purchasing a new truck which according to Asst. Chief Gleghorn would cost around $600,000.00. Used trucks were also discussed. The council asked Chief Russell to feel out the citizens and local business for donations to purchase a new truck. The third issue is pay for the part paid (volunteer) firefighters. During the budget process, the council decided to give a 3% raise for full time employees only. Therefore, the City Clerk did not give a 3% to the part paid firefighters. Chief Russell said that in the past the part paid firefighters always got raises when other city employees got raises. The City Clerk explained that this was the first time that the council said not to give raises to part time employees and since the part paid firefighters are part time and not city employees, she did not give them an increase. Councilmember Mynatt moved to give the part paid the 3% raise retroactive back to January, 2006 and Councilmember Carpenter seconded. All voted for. COMMENTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS Councilmember Carpenters said the committee for the proposed sign ordinance has a first draft for the council to consider. He gave the City Clerk a copy to post on the web site and asked her to mail each Councilmember a hard copy. Councilmember Carpenter asked that the proposed ordinance be placed on the agenda for the March 14 meeting. COMMENTS FROM MAYOR Mayor Biard told the council that the City Clerk and Deputy City Clerk would be out of town on the next council meeting on February 28.
