The council approved the purchase of a tracked vehicle for the fire department from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for $16,000.
Mayor B. Schmiedeberg told the council the military would be taking a tracked vehicle back from the fire department and that a replacement was available from the DNR for $16,000. Clarence (Skip) Strom moved to purchase the vehicle and Tatum Carlson seconded; the motion carried with all members in favor.
