Action Motion: _________ Second: __________ Carried: Yes / No
We had budgeted $65,000 for a truck with a plow. We had received 2 quotes for vehicles:
Victory Ford in Dyersville: F350 $51,999.76 (with $8407 trade in, bedliner and Boss 8.2 V-Plow)
Runde Auto in Manchester: F250 $52,805 (with $10,000 trade, NO Bedliner or Plow) Futurline Plow: $10,475 = $63,280
Tony recommends the F350 from Dyersville - heavier duty truck with the bedline for a better price.

MOTION to approve the quotes from H2I for $11,625 for bleacher and basketball inspection and repairs in the Elementary, Middle School and High School gymnasiums.
Action Motion: _________ Second: __________ Carried: Yes / No
High School: Safety Straps on the basketball hoops are worn and sagging, they need to be replaced so that if the hoop would fall the straps would catch it. They will do a full inspection of the hoops and the bleachers while they are here.
Middle School: Bleachers are in need of 3 roller wheel assemblies as we can’t get them pushed back in currently. They will do a full inspection of the bleachers and basketball hoops while here.
Elementary: Safety Straps on the hoops are sagging and need to be replaced. We have one hoop that needs a winch w/ cable and will plan to replace the other one at the same time as it will likely fail soon.
This work can be done the first week of December.
