Unfinished Business;
(a) Information on hospitalization for retirees - nothing to report.

proposed and thought that it should be placed on the next agenda
for action.

of the Rescue Advisory Committee, introduced Dr. Robert Isham,
Chairman of Equipment and Mr. Harris Meador. He reported that
we had collected as of last Friday, $10, 338. 00 and that the committee
had voted unanimously to recommend that the Village buy the vehicle
that Mr. Perez and the Mayor had seen. Dr. Isham reported that
he had informed North Shore Hospital of our desire to get into
telemetry and that the hospital board had voted unanimously to put
in the base station that is needed at the hospital. He also recommended
the type of truck body that is being proposed because it has more
room to work on a person and should last for many, many years.
Mayor Jones told of his visit to the truck manufacturing company
and what a fine piece of equipment it was; that the cost to the Village
will be $5500. 00 more than we planned to allocate, or about $13, 000. 00.
