Mayor Elumbaugh noted that if citizens <br /> notice a street light out, to please contact City Hall with the location and pole number <br /> so it can be reported and fixed as soon as possible. <br /> B) ENGINEER'S REPORT <br /> City Engineer Damon Johnson addressed the Council with his monthly report. He <br /> said it is business as usual and all departments are working on the 2018 budget. He <br /> said bids for sludge removal were opened recently. Only one bid, DRT Bio Solids, <br /> was submitted, however, they are a reputable company and we have used them <br /> before. The bid this time was a little higher at $84.00 per dry don but it has been <br /> several years since the last sludge removal. The bid is in line with budget numbers <br /> this time and he suggested that sludge removal be looked at again in a couple of <br /> years. Councilmember Bryant made a motion to accept the bid from DRT Bio Solids <br /> and Councilmember Beller seconded. All voted for. <br /> C) FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> Mayor Elumbaugh asked Fire Chief Brent Gleghorn to address the council. Chief <br /> Gleghorn discussed the recent ISO rating change to a class 2 rating. He went over <br /> the numbers and noted that the Department as a whole is already looking at ways to <br /> improve the next rating. Several of the council conveyed their appreciation for a job <br /> well done. Chief Gleghorn and Councilmember Poole discussed the search for a <br /> new pumper/ladder truck that has been looked at. The 2011 Quint truck has about <br /> 37,000 miles on it and is in Missouri and could serve the city's needs for several <br /> years to come. An offer of$400,000.00 was made and accepted pending council <br /> approval. Councilmember Beller noted that funds are available to purchase the truck <br />
