groups other than the Stage Center.
Mr. Busby replied that the center could be used when the Stage
Center is not using it. He proposed that the existing building
would be remodeled by the Stage Center but an additional 3,600
sq. ft. building would need to be built by the city.
Mayor Halter referred to Mr. Busby's memo and indicated to him
that funding could not be used from Parkland Dedication.
After further discussion, Councilman Ringer moved to establish a
committee to work with the Stage Center on their proposed project
and study the cost of the project.

The committee will consist of Councilman Nemec as Chairman,
Councilman Runnels, and Councilman Ringer.
Agenda Item.No. 3 - Consideration of Emergency Fire Equipment
Purchase.
Fire Chief Landua presented the item. He explained that the

equipment from service for eight months. He indicated that a
proposal to purchase a 1500 G.P.M. pumper for $102,843.00 has
been made available to him. With a $11,000.00 trade-in value for
the old pumper, this would require an additional $6,000.00 to
purchase the new pumper for $91,843.00. He stated that he felt
the purchase of this equipment would be cost beneficial.
