JUN 21982 0 <br />49 <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Fletcher, seconded by <br />Commissioner Lyons, to approve the recommendation of staff <br />re purchase of equipment as set out in memo of James Davis <br />dated May 26, 1982. - <br />Commissioner Wodtke's concern was that this was <br />discussed at budget time last year and we really have no <br />idea what is coming up next year.

He emphasized that it is <br />not economical to repair the trucks they are requesting be <br />replaced, based on salvage value, etc. <br />Chairman Scurlock stated that he had a lot of faith in <br />the Public Works Director, but his problem is that the <br />Commission does go through such a laborious process in <br />reviewing all these needs at budget time.
