The Council took no action following a discussion about creating a no-parking zone on th eastern half of East 15th Street between Stone Street and Harlan Street. The topic was brought up because of the new diesel fuel pumps installed at Pump and Pantry.

The Council also approved the purchase of three trucks. An F350 Crew Cab with a service body and snow plow and two F600 4x4 trucks with two snow plows, two hook lift hoists and two roll-on dump bodies plus a roll-on chipper box and a roll-on salt/rock spreader.

Money has been set aside from the solid waste funds to purchase the trucks.
