renovation of the vehicle.

in the amount of $2,000 less the trade-in of $125, as recommended by the Civil
Defense Commission and with the waiver of formal bidding. Trustee Rech
seconded the motion.
Trustee Rathjen felt the body might be worth more than the trade-in allowance.
Mr. Soucy agreed, but said there is little demand for that type of body and
also there is a problem of storage until it could be sold. Mr. McCoy stated
that the Public Works Department has no requirement for the body.
Because Mr. Soucy indicated preference to the Fruehauf body because of its
strength, Trustee Shirley amended the motion to accept the proposal of
Fruehauf Distributing, in the amount of $2,054. Trustee Rech seconded the
motion , and a roll call vote found the following:
