Having been informed that the City's Fire Department (including its Volunteer Fire Department) has no need for its abandoned 1924 MOdel AMERICAN-LaFRANCE fire engine (pumper) and attaches no value to this vehicle and, further, desires not to restore the vehicle for display purposes, Council unanimously authorized its sale, for the sum of one dollar ($1.00), to Mr. Ralph E. (Mike) Seidle, Jr., who since March of 1965 has been on record with Council as desiring to acquire this vehicle. .,.-. Council referred to the Planning Commission--for its consideration and recommendation--a request submitted jointly by Mr. P. H. Fussell and Mr. Ernest H. Williams that the City provide water and sewer service to a proposed sub- division (identified as Vernon Hills Estates), consisting of 7.57 acres of land owned by t~ssrs. Fussell and Williams and located outside the City's corporate limits off the Old Danville Road, generally opposite the intersection of Hunting Ridge Road and Old Danville Road. ,,- Mr. D. B. Hanel, Commissioner of the Revenue, informed Council of problems he is encountering in appraising new construction for tax purposes and, also, of the need for expert services in appraising machinery and tools on a more current basis. Mr. Hanel further suggested that it might be advantageous to the City to establish a permanent assessment procedure and to employ--through the Commissioner's office--a permanent appraisor or assessor who might combine the duties of license enforcement with assessment duties. },-, Upon motion, Council appropriated to the use of the City's Public Library the sum of $3,591.00 to be granted to the City (for this use) by the Federal Government.
