PLATTERS
By Sharee Painxchab
The Stamford City Council
held their regular meeting on
Monday June 4, 2007.
The minutes of the May 21
meeting were approved.
A second reading was made
to review and consider Ordi-
nance No. 813 ordaining the
city’s participation in the Enter-
jition and with this truck they
could work at a faster pace and
provide a good time frariie.
They have took pictures of the
truck and checked the service
record. It has been very well
maintained. The price of the
truck would be cheaper than to
keep having other companies
coine and haul things off for the
city. The only they would have
to purchase separately Would be
the containers that go on the
truck, which are not too expen-
sive.
A motion was made and ap-
proved to purchase the roll off
truck from the City of Abilehe
and authorize the City Manager
to sign all documents relatinglo
the sale and delivery of the
truck. •
There being no.further discus-
sion the meeting was adjourned.

made to deliberate and act Or-
dinance No. 814 Outdoor Burn-
