Chief Harnish asked council to purchase two lap top computers with the docks for two of the three police cars so the officer can have this to check into with the county. The total cost would be $10844.06 with a $75.00 month charge. Council members thought the county paid to have this covered and we did need to spend the money on these computers. This issue died from lack of motion. Council accepted the resignation of Kimberly Schwartz from the Toledo Police Dept to take a job with the Tama Police Dept. effective March 14, 2009. Police Chief has put an ad in the paper to fill this job. Moved by Chaska seconded by Ferris to approve filing liens with Tama County Treasurer against Elvis Valdez of 303 W. Carleton in the amount of $237.07 for water and sewer bill. Lewdin Diaz of 207 W. Harrison in the amount of $196.15 for a water and sewer bill. Ronald VanDyk of 401 E.
