Deputy City Attorney Kathleen Cekanski w Minutes of the previous meeting were reviewed and FINAL ACTION - OAK PARK SEWERS:ASSESSMENT ROLL convened at 9:30 and Mr. Seitz as also present. approved. The Board had delayed final confirmation of the Oak Park Sewer Assessment Roll to allow Ralph Borysiak, 2101 Pak Park Drive`to check to discover when his house was hooked up to sewer service. Mr. Borysiak was present and reported to the Board that he had contacted the previous owner and has learned that while he does have city water service to his house, there is a septic system. He thanked the Board for their patience in delaying the assessment roll while he obtained this information. Mr. Borysiak asked about the method of paying for his sewer assessment and he was told he could now pay the assessment in cash or in yearly installments to the office of the County Treasurer. Upon motion made, seconded and carried, the Board confirmed their action of September 4,1974 approving the Assessment Roll. REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS - GASOLINE TANK AND DISPENSER PUMPS The Board received a request from Stanley Przybylinski, Manager of the Municipal Services Facility, to advertise for bids for a 10,000 gallon underground tank and two key -controlled dispenser pumps for unleaded gasoline. Upon motion made, seconded and carried, the request was approved and the Clerk was directed to advertise for bids on November 8 and 15, with bids to be received on November 18, 1974. AWARDING OF BID - POLICE DEPARTMENT UNIFORMS The Board had tabled the bids for Police Department Uniforms and had requested that Chief Urban attend the meeting today to answer questions. Thomas Clarisey of Shield Uniform Company -was present and'told the Board he felt his company's bid was the best bid because they sub- mitted a bid for the 14 oz. trousers and because they can offer faster delivery than Gerbers. Chief Urban said the 14 oz. trousers can be furnished by Gerbers at the price quoted for the surimier trousers. He said Gerbers will furnish a statement in writing to that effect. He said Captain Sikorski had rude a comparison of the usual issue for an officer and determined that the Gerber bid would amount to $371.85 and the Shield bid to $396.00, a savings of $24.50 per officer with the Gerber bid. Mr. Clarisey said he still considered the Gerber bid incom- plete because it did not list a price for the 14 oz. trouser. Mr. Seitz noted that the specifications asked for a quotation on either trouser. Upon notion made, seconded and carried, the Board accepted the recommen- dation of Chief Urban and awarded the bid to the Gerber Manufacturing Co. BIKE AUCTION APPROVED The Board received the following recommendation from the Legal Depart- ment regarding the Police Department request for a bike auction: "Pursuant to your request, I have reviewed Chief Urban's letter of October 21 requesting permission for a "Bike and Unclaimed Property Auction" on Friday, November 8, 1974.' I recommend approval of said request. Burns Section 48-6440(b), I.C. 19-1- 18-10 specifically allows that "proceeds from the sale of all lost, unclaimed and unidentified, stolen, strayed, and confiscated property recovered or taken into possession by members of such police force in the performance of their duties, and the same shall be sold at public sale upon the first Tuesday after the first Monday of April and October of each year, upon such terms and conditions as the Board shall make". This section further provides that the funds raised could then be properly received into the Police Pension Fund. Based on this authority and con- sultations with Mr. Walt Lantz, I recommend approval of the requested Bike Auction. s/ Kathleen Cekanski, Deputy City Attorney Upon motion made, seconded and carried, the Bike Auction for Friday, November 8, 1974 was approved.
