• MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
Purchase of Vacuum Cleaner
There is only one shop vac type vacuum that was purchased approximately
a year ago. Carpeting was laid at Manor warming house this year. The
shop vac works fine at Cathcart because the carpeting is short- napped.
The carpeting at Badger is shag and the shop vac will not work right on it.
Lindstrom moved, Kooi seconded, to recommend to Council that they approve
the purchase of a used Kirby. Motion carried unanimously.
(The purchase will probably cost less than the shop vac did -about $129-
they wear well, and you can always get parts)
Freeman Park Signs
An estimate was received from Mr. Herb Strom of Country Signs (he is the
person that did the City Hall signs as low bidder).
Commission would like to have "City of Shorewood" added in the lower right
corner.
Kooi moved, Jakel seconded, to recommend to Council that they approve the
purchase of two signs for Freeman Park. Motion carried unanimously.
