     Reggie Langford recommended awarding contract to Bob Ruhe Ag Service in Leipsic, Ohio who was low bidder for gypsy moth spraying and the only bidder under the State price of $22.48 per acre.

      A motion was made by Gary Mortus and seconded by William Rofkar to award contract to Bob Ruhe Ag  Service for $39,300.00 to spray 1760 acres on Catawba Island for the gypsy moth.  All voted aye.

      William Rofkar stated there is a need to replace  one police cruiser and Bob Roger’s request for a Ford Explorer or two new cruisers in 2005.  The 2005 Ford Crown Victoria cruiser would be $20,147.00 and the 2005 Ford Explorer would be $20,649.00.  Explorer would be handy for snow as it is four-wheel drive and feels it would be useful.

       Gary stated his personal opinion is get two new cruisers that doesn’t feel there is a need for the Explorer.

       A motion was made by William Rofkar and seconded by Robert Schroeder to purchase one 2005 Ford Crown Victoria and one 2005 Ford Explorer at State purchasing prices above.  The vote:  G. Mortus-no, William Rofkar-aye, R. Schroeder-abstain.  William Rofkar withdrew his motion.
