^Letter read from Chet Waggener,City Manager,requesting Council
\u 'authorization to engage an architect to proceed with plans for Council
Chamber improvements,as previously provided for in the 1963 budget.
These improvements were basically to install a tape recorder,acoustic
treatment of wall surfaces in the Council Chambers,and reinstallation
of the air conditioning system to eliminate the noise problem it presently
creates while on.Mr.Waggener stated $3,200 has been budgeted for
this project;however,it may not be necessary to spend all of that
amount.
Mr.Krueger believed possibly this money could be spent better elsewhere.
City Attorney,John Calbom stated these improvements would be very
beneficial during court sessions,enabling an accurate record to be kept
of the proceedings.Mayor Dietzen stated it would also benefit the
Planning Commission,especially during public hearings as it was difficult
at times for the public to hear everything.It was agreed that if such a
project were approved,the improvements would have to be attractive and
maintenance free.Mr.Waggener believed approximately $200 to $300
would be necessary for the architectural services.
Motion by Krueger,seconded by Ebbert,that City Manager be authorized
to engage architectural and/or engineering services to determine the cost
of these proposed acoustical work and tape recorder installations in the
Council Chambers.Motion carried.

Base.The tanker has a capacity of 1,100 gallons and is equipped with pumping
equipment.
If this equipment were purchased,money would have to be budgeted in _
future years on an equipment rental basis.Chet Roily believed this
yearly amount would not exceed $150,as the total mileage of this equip
ment was estimated at 100 miles annually
Motion by Krueger,seconded by Stadshaug,the Fire Chief's request to
