Council May Reorganize City's Purchasing System
City council may reorganize city purchasing as proposed by the finance committee. City Manager Roy Braden has not indicated his stance. The plan would move buying from Miss Lois Welborn to Tassie Wilson, with increased pay for Wilson and unchanged Welborn salary. Several council members oppose the change, preferring a full-time purchasing department as in larger cities. Other business includes bids for a new 1000-gallon fire fighting unit at Fire Station No. 1, with bids from American LaFrance and Seagrave.
