Therefore, Engineer Will recommended that the Board approve the purchase of two new tandem trucks from O’Halloran International, Inc. in the amount of $381,146.

Revenues for month $117,476.86. Expenses for month $107,199.78. The agenda was approved by consensus of the board with the addition of water tower painting under old business. The recent electrical outages were discussed. ITC came to the utilities and put a monitor on at the substation, which showed a 17% swing in the voltage. Until then ITC believed that the problem was just Gowrie Municipal Utilities problem. GMU has disconnected the low voltage side, which seems to have alleviated some of the problems, but they won’t go away entirely until Alliant finishes the upgrades to the line. According to the information given to Chuck, with the new wind farm going up, we may always see more fluctuation in our voltage, but are hopeful that an upgrade to the relay system will keep it under control. No new bids for heating the engine room. Chuck is not worried about it as much with warmer weather coming. Chuck talked to a man from McGuire Iron about painting the water tower. His estimates were $95,000 for the exterior and $50,000 for the interior. The paint from Tnemec can be expected to last twenty-five years. Boerner moved to donate 400,000 gallons to the pool, second Lane. Carried-all ayes. (Value of approximately $1750) Ditchwitch will give $700 for old locator on a trade in and can purchase a new one with a hard case for $5207.03. Lane moved to purchase a new locator, second Boerner. Carried-all ayes.Boerner moved to allow CIPCO to upgrade the relay system, second, Lane. Carried-all ayes. Motion by Lane to adjourn, second Boerner. Meeting adjourned 6:54 PM. Next regular meeting to be held May 19, 2014, 4:30 PM at the utilities building.(This is a week later than normal because of scheduling conflicts.)_________________________________ ____________________ Patrice Klingson Debra Tvrdik Sec of Board Chair Protem
