approve the purchase of medium crushed rock salt for snow and ice removal.
City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance.
Terry Gulley, Transportation Services Director: We are not out of material yet. We started the
year with about 750 tons of salt which is double what we have had in the past. We did not.think
we would need to purchase salt this year so we did not include it in our bulk material bid. We
will obtain quotes every time we make a purchase. We are asking for you to approve the bid
wavier.
Don Marr, Chief of Staff. This is a supply that does not go unused. We can carry it over to the
next year.

the summer.

Gray seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 7-0. Alderman Petty was
absent.
City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance.
Alderman Thiel moved to suspend the rules and go to the third reading. Alderman Ferrell
seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed 7-0. Alderman Petty was absent.
City Attorney Kit Williams read the ordinance.
Alderman Lewis: This changes the salinity of our streams. Out fresh water fish can not live in
salt water. Keep that in mind as we purchase sweepers to clean it up.
Terry Gully: That is why we are using salt brine instead of salt because it allows us to have at
least a 30% reduction of the salt that we use on the road. Salt brine is what we spray as a
pretreatment on the streets.
Mayor Jordan asked shall the ordinance pass. Upon roll call the ordinance passed 7-0.
Alderman Petty was absent.
Ordinance 5386 as Recorded in the office of the City Clerk
Announcements: David Jurgens gave an update on trash services that have been delayed due to
