In regard to quotes for lease purchase of a dump truck, Bill
Williams recommended the low quote of $14,938.55 to Swinson
Chevrolet for a single axle. Mr. Thompson questioned the single
axle over the tandum and said he would hate to see -.us -,enter into

Mr. Wrestler questioned the need for contracting services to
test our lagoon because EPA has yet to give us any guidelines.
Mr. Meyer said we did have a need as the Health Department does
not agree with our tests. We lack proper training and equipment
for this highly technically skilled service and this company is
the only man in this area approved by EPA to do this work and he
can work with or without a contract and OPWA can contract inde-
finitely. Mr. Lambert questioned what we do when the Health De-
partment dto seeewhattweohaveedone forr whichethereeislno costeet

Mr. Spencer said he did not know our lagoon was not checking out

Mr. Strella, City Engineer, said it is good news and bad news
with a contractor doing the tests. The good news is you have
always got someone who is an expert so your results will be
right. The bad news is he is the only one who will know what
is going on and no one will have the responsibility for doing
that and knowing what is going on. Mr. Strella suggested the
alternative might be to make sure someone on staff or someone
in town might want to enter into this and take an interest in
what is going on and
