The pickup truck reserved for after the first of the fiscal year had been sold by the dealer, however Foreman Bradshaw indicated it would be beneficial to wait until September when the 2009’s are available.
Revenue – City Manager Nedra Kennedy report that the amount for building permits may be high. Cemetery fees need to be adjusted, the opening and closing fees for weekends should be adjusted to cover costs.

A resolution setting the fees will be prepared for adoption in the next regular city council meeting.
