7. Discussion and possible action on the purchase of an ambulance. Opening of bids was conducted on 01/09/07 and results are noted on following attachment. -- the attachment was not provided to the public present at the meeting ... but the lengthy discussion centered on an $88K bid (less $5K trade-in) for a 2nd new ambulance slightly larger than the other recent purchase. The commission authorized the city manager to make the purchase.

8. Discussion and possible action on proposed ordinance. Crossing the center line to park in diagonal space. -- the commission approved an ordinance making a turn crossing the center line of any Collinsville street (with or without a painted center line) to park in an opposite side diagional parking spot illegal. This will enhance the current no U turn ban.

9. Discussion and possible action on the case no. CJ-2006-7777. St John Villas vs. City of Collinsville. -- the commission took no action but will seek clarification on the exact legal description in the suit. This is to verify the assumption that the outdated city plat (which had provisions for streets in the area where houses are soon to be built) being vacated is restricted to the appropriate locations. The case is scheduled for a Feb. 1st court appearance which the city will not contest if the vacated plat is correctly described.

Addendum to agenda:

OPENING OF BIDS ON NO. 06-0010 (NEW PUMPER FIRE TRUCK)

1. Consideration and possible action on bids no. 06-0010.

A sealed bid for ~$206K was opened before the commission. Another unsealed bid for $182,324 had appeared on the city manager desk but could not legally be accepted. The commission agreed it would be best to re-request bids and hope the lower bid would be submitted correctly this time. A search for a potential used pumper was also requested.

10. Consideration of any new business, which can be considered an emergency, to come before the City Commission not known about or which could not have been reasonably anticipated at the time of posting this agenda. -- none

11. ADJOURNMENT.

POSTED 01/11/07 by Kelly Young, City Clerk

IF YOU REQUIRE A SPECIAL ACCOMMODATION PURSUANT TO THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT PLEASE NOTIFY CITY HALL BY 3:00 P.M. ON THE DATE OF THE MEETING.
