Lowden Fire Department told the council they had hired someone to write a grant application to apply for a new fire pumper which cost $219,898. If they would be awarded the grant for the truck, the Fire Department would be responsible for 10% of the cost of the truck, which would be approximately $22,000. The Fire Dept. was informed recently their application is still being considered and they needed to provide additional information, mainly, that they would be able to pay the 10% required for the truck.

Conrad said the City could borrow the money from the bank at approximately 5% interest.

After discussion, M/S Conrad, Tucker to have the Fire Department proceed with their grant application knowing the 10% amount could be borrowed by the City to finance the balance required for the truck. Ayes: Tucker, Conrad, Decker, Olsen.
