Review of Semi-Monthly Bills: High Visibility Clothing was it for 1 person or multiple, is it part of clothing allowance? Can we have them use one site to purchase this clothing and buy in bulk to keep the costs down. They should maybe always wear high visibility with reflective and maybe we could get them shirts to wear everyday.
Police Department Computer purchase questions – 12 computers were budgeted for but 17 were purchased – other 5 computers were for City Hall. Can we put info like that on the Purchase Orders in the future.
FNB – Road Scholar Program – what is this for? This is their 3rd year for the program through the State of Illinois, Believe there are 5 going for the week long program.
Heater for $2200 – this was a water heater for City Hall.
CJ Trenching – Machine transportation, was it for maintenance or for a repair? They also did several loads hauling gravel for us and that was not as costly as it was to move the piece of equipment.
