ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE BIDS FOR A DUMP TRUCK RECEIVED AT THE MEETING OF MAY 18TH HAVE BEEN REVIEWED. HE i NOTED, HOWEVER, THAT WE HAVE, SINCE THAT TIME, HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND TOTALED ONE OF THE PRESENT DUMP TRUCKS. HE CONTINUED THAT HE HAS NOW FOUND A 1977 INTERNATIONAL TRUCK THAT MEETS THE SPECIFICATIONS AND CAN BE OB— TAINED IN FIVE DAYS. THE ADMINISTRATOR CONTINUED THAT THE INTERNATIONAL TRUCK THAT WAS BID IS A 1978 MODEL, BUT THE NEW 1977 HE HAS FOUND IS CON— SIDERABLY UPGRADED OVER AND ABOVE WHAT WE SPECIFIED ALTHOUGH THE PRICE IS $28,373.00, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY $300.00 LESS THAN THE BID PRICE OF THE 1978 INTERNATIONAL TRUCK. THE ADMINISTRATOR RECOMENDED THAT ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS HE BE ALLOWED TO PURCHASE THE 1977 TRUCK AND THEN RESUBMIT AND REBID FOR ANOTHER NEW TRUCK SINCE THIS TRUCK WOULD JUST BE REPLACING THE ONE THAT WAS TOTALED. CHAIRMAN WODTKE REQUESTED ATTORNEY COLLINS TO CHECK AND DETERMINE WHETHER THE BOARD HAS THE AUTHORITY TO BUY THIS TRUCK ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS WITHOUT BIDDING. THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS RECESSED AT 12:00 NOON FOR LUNCH AND RECONVENED AT 1:30 O'CLOCK P.M. WITH THE SAME MEMBERS PRESENT.
