4. Ordinance No. O2014-38, an ordinance authorizing a contract between the City and the Windamere LLC for the sale of City owned property and declaring an emergency.

5. Ordinance No. O2014-39, an ordinance establishing a procedure for and authorizing a purchase of a used rescue truck by the City Purchasing Agent in 2014. (1st reading)

 Hmmm…At last night’s council meeting Mr. Picard questioned the Fire Departments need for another heavy duty pick up truck at a cost of $60,000 when they already had other trucks that he thought they could use.
Picard stated he was concerned over City Hall’s 2015 Budget.

However when the sale of the Bank One building for $140,000 came before City Council not one council person, not even Mr. Picard said a word about the repayment of the $50,000 of tax payers money that was used for the upgrades that were just completed to the Miami Research side of this building….another $50,000 just went down the drain.
