6, 1957 at 7:30 P.M. Mr. Jay Gorgin a member of the Chamber of Commerce Lighting
Committee, appeared before the Council and steted, at the request of Mayor Madsen

and about forty members and business men attended this meeting and all present
were in favor of proceeding with the installation of a new street lighting system
in the business district, according to plans and specifications now on file in
the City Clerk's office. Re also stated that all present favored awarding the
contract to the Linner Electric Company due to the fact that his completion date
is December 1, 1957, and the other bidders could not promise a completion date
earlier than December 15, 1957. The business men felt that the additional fifteen
days would be beneficial in promoting Christmas sales. On motion of Councilman
Bourdaghs seconded by Councilman Charlsen, it was decided to install festoon
out -lets on each new standard. On motion of Councilman Bourdaghs seconded by
Councilman Bartkey, the Linner Electric Company bid was accepted at a total price
of $81,065.00 and the Mayor and City Clerk were authorized and directed to enter

Councilman Bourdaghs left his seat at the Council table and requested that the
Council give some consideration to the people residing in the business district
when the assessment roll is presented for approval, covering the new street light -
fee ing system. Mayor Madsen assured Mr. Bourdaghs that the matter would be considered.
°nM On motion of Councilman Charlsen seconded by Councilman Bartkey, the Clerk was

Olive and Myrtle Streets, 11 on Water Street between Nelson and Mulberry Streets,
9 in Lowell Park between Commercial and Nelson Streets.

The City Engineer informed the Council members that the estimated cost to improve
Spruce Street would amount to 12,885.50.
NEW BUSINESS

the Council and explained a new coverage available on a group basis. The present
coverage carried by the City Employees is on the basis of $12.00 per day for a
period of 70 days and all of the premium is paid by the employee which amounts to
9.75 per month for family coverage. The new plan would allow the semi -private
rate in any hospital which could be applied against the cost of a private roots
for a period of 365 days, but under the new plan the City would be required to pay
part of the premium in lieu of salary increase. Mr. Metzdorf stated that the
Mayor and Council members could also become members of the group under the new
plan. It was decided to lay this matter over to the next regular meeting of the
Council.

On motion of Councilman Jewell seconded by Councilman Partkey the contract between the
City and the Linner Electric Company covering the installation of new street lights
in the business district was approved and ordered filed. (Contract drawn up by the
City Attorney.)
Mr. Warden and Mr. Gephardt, representing the National Electrical Contractors Associa-
ion, appeared before the Council in regard to the recent letting of a contract for the
installation of new street lights in the business district. Mr. Werden stated that in
his opinion the Council must award a contract to the lowest responsible bidder and that
one of their members, namely the Running Electric Company of Kenyon, Minnesota, was the
lowest responsible bidder on the installation of street lights. Mayor Madsen informed
him that the Chamber of Commerce was instrumental in bringing about the matter of
advertising for bids, that bids were received, opened and read aloud at a meeting of
the Council on August 6, 1957 and at that time it was decided to defer action on the
bids and allow ample time for the Chamber of Commerce to study the proposals and report
back to the Council. The Chamber then called a meeting of its members to study the
proposals and Mr. Tay Coggin, who is Chairman of the Chambers Lighting Committee,
appeared before the Council on August 13, 1957 and stated that all members present
et this meeting voted unanimously to proceed with the work of installing the lights
end also that the contract be awarded to the Linner Electric Company because his com-
pletion date is December 1, 1957 and the other two bidders listed a completion date of
December 15, 1957. The Mayor also stated that the Council acted in good faith and upon
the recommendation of the Chamber of Commerce and business men who will be paying 80%
of the cost involved and that the completion date was a factor in their decision be-
cause the business men felt that the additional 15 days would be beneficial in promoting
Christmas sales and that the members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce would like to
complete their Christmas decorations by December 1, 1957, which would also have a ten-
dency to promote Christmas sales. Mr. Warden then stated he would like to have the
records show that Mr. Ronning would also complete the installation on or before
December 1, 1957.
The following resolutions were read and were on roll call unanimously adopted:
1. Approving substituted collateral (Cosmopolitan State Bank)
2. Ordering increase in salary of Chief of Police. (To cover expense for use of his
private automobile in carrying out his duties.)
3. Determining to proceed with the work of improving East Spruce Street, and directing
the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
