interest in purchasing a self-loading street sweeper (the Elgin Pelican)
manufactured only by the Elgin Leach Corporation.
to writing closed specifications so that only Elgin could bid, but after
Council discugsion, it was decided to open the specifications to standard
machines so that Elgin would not feel they had the whole field to themselves
and bid accordingly. At the March 2 meeting, Mr. Dunn said, he had indicated
that the difference in price begigeen2the standard machine and the Elgin Pelican
might be $3,000 and that ke would ask approval of the high bid, Bids opened
on April 1, 1970, showed Elgin Pelican bid of $14,233 was $3,743 over the
$10,490 bid of Hall Equipment, but that Mr. Batko had figured that the self-
loading feature of the Elgin Pelican would save $1,600 annually with reuse of
'Buckshop and Class A Trap, in addition to savings in time and elimination of
dumping sweepings in unsighly and unsafe piles for later ptckup by other
units.

Elgin Pelican, noting that the redfiction of cost must be considered and that
he is influenced by the judgment of Mr. Dunn and Mr. Batko who had studied the
matter. Councilman Courtney seconded the motion, stating that he doesn't like
avaarding to high bidder, but that the measurable and intangible reasons must
be considered. Motion carried.

that a meeting of the Suburban Hennepin County Relief Association, members

The Village Clerk noted
RESOLUTION OPPOSING CHANGE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION OF DIRECT RELIEF IN HENNEPIN COUNTY
WHEREAS, since Hennepin County was first organized, direct relief has been
administered under what is known as the Township System; and
WHEREAS, since at least 1938 thirty-six of the municipalities located in
rural Hennepin County ha+e administered direct relief under a system of contract
whereby these municipalities have employed and maintained two central offices
with trained personnel which conducts thorough investigations and administers
relief according to standards approved by the State of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, under this system in rural Hennepin County, direct relief has been
administered ably, well and satisfactorily and at a cost which is far less
*than that which would have been necessarily expanded under a County System;,,and
WHEREAS, the administration of such relief in Hennepin County is not fragmented
and has been at all times administered in a humane, efficient and intelligent
manner; and
WHEREAS, it is understood athdt-an; attSmpf* dl -agafn -be made.\.to :change. khe
