City Manager Kennedy presented the proposal of the Duncan Parking Meter Company for replacement of the old meters the City has now on the streets. Mr. Kennedy reported that some of our original meters are beyond repair and the City is losing a great amount of revenue due to the fact that the meters are not operating as they should. He advised the Commission that the Duncan Parking Meter Company is willing to supply us with 600 meters at a cost of $67.50 each, and the City will be permitted to pay for the equipment in three installments, the first payment being due in July of 1958 and the remaining payments in January and July of 1959. The City Manager stated that this method of payment without interest, would allow the City to make provision for the cost in the next budget and recommended that this proposal be accepted. Commissioner Fountain moved that authorization be granted to purchase 600 parking meters from the Duncan Parking Meter Company at a cost of $67.50 each, subject to the conditions of their proposal. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp and His Honor Mayor Pro Tem Whipple voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Mayor Baker.

Mr. Kennedy explained that this was a specialized type of equipment and would fit in with the equipment they are presently using. Mr. Kennedy recommended this requisition be approved. Commissioner Bunker moved that Purchase Requisition No. 8472 to Remington Rand, Inc. in the total amount of $1,401.25 for index cabinets for the City Library be approved and the purchase order authorized.
