ITEM 1 - APPROVE MINUTES OF DECEMBER 18, 1979
Motion was made by Robert Wrestler, seconded by Don Thompson, to
approve minutes of December 18, 1979, and by reference made a
part hereof.
Ayes - Messrs. Spencer, Thompson, Wrestler, Lambert, Mrs. Fickle
Nays - None
Motion passed.
ITEM 2 - APPROVE WARRANTS FOR PAYMENT
Mr. Lambert questioned Warrant No. 457 to United Engines in the
amount of $249.90, stating he assumed it was in connection with
the garbage truck but questioned why it was overtime. Mr.
Williams explained that it was 3:30 PM when they took the truck
in and they didn't get on it until after 5:00 PM. Mr. Williams
said he needed the truck and they kept three employees over so
he could have the truck running the next morning.
Mr. Lambert asked if the truck was still under warranty and if
we could be reimbursed by Load -Al. Mr. Williams said the truck
is still under warranty but he didn't think we would be reimbur-
sed.
Mr. Spencer questioned why this bill from March 1979 was so late
being submitted. Mr. Williams said he has had the bill for some
time and it was submitted with other bills to Allison Transmis-
sion to be paid and Allison rejected the overtime. He said he
kept holding it hoping Allison Transmission would finally agree
to pay it. Allison had even charged a late charge interest but
Mr. Williams had gotten them to remove that charge.

Mr. Spencer commented that the City purchased a brand new trans-
mission from Load -Al and they are responsible for it. Mr.
Thompson agreed, but commented warranties will not pay overtime.
Mr. Spencer again stated he felt Load -Al should stand behind
their truck. Mr. Thompson said they did stand behind it, but
not for the overtime.
Mr. Spencer referred to when he and Mr. Williams visitied with
Jim Payne of Load -Al regarding the second trash truck and Mr.
Payne said it was "like new" but we still had to buy two new
tires and a paint job. Mr. Williams replied that the Council
left it up to him to inspect the truck and he did not feel the
tires were good enough for him to drive it the 1,000 miles back
to Owasso.
Mr. Wrestler asked if we requested payment from Load -Al on this
invoice, and Mr. Williams replied yes, but they felt Allison
should be responsible for it. Mr. Wrestler then asked what it
would have caused if we had waited and had it serviced on nor-
mal work hours. Mr. Williams said they would had to have just
worked us in and it would have caused the loss of at least one
day's trash service, probably more. Mr. Thompson commented
that Mr. Williams was under considerable pressure at that time
to prove the trash service.
Ken Thompson said he has had several situations in the past with
Load -Al and he has found them very hard to deal with. He then
questioned if Load -Al will stand good on all items. Mr. Williams
said they go back to the individual manufacturers. Ken Thompson
said he agrees with Mr. Spencer that Load -Al should accept that
responsibility, not their suppliers.
Motion was made by Boyd Spencer, seconded by Robbie Fickle, to
approve warrants for payment, with the exception of Warrant No.
457, and directed that on said warrant that Ken Thompson con-
tact Load -Al and see what can be done on the $249.90 overtime
as the City of Owasso should not pay for something that is
guaranteed, and by reference made a part hereof.
Ayes - Messrs. Spencer, Wrestler, Lambert, Mrs. Fickle, with
Mrs. Fickle abstaining on Warrants 447, 448, 449, 450 and 461.
Nays - Mr. Thompson
Motion passed.
