$900 for residential taps but make the rest of them cost plus 10 percent That way if the cost of the equipment goes up, we'll be covered "

This would eliminate the need to come before the council each time the cost goes up Public Works Director David Wortham said that the city spent close to $1,500 on valves and meters for the school recently The way the current structure is set up, the city's fee structure on that project was $1,700 therefore allowing only $200 labor for the three workers on-site at the project

The council also approved to counter-offer on an internet company's bid to rent space on the city's water tower to provide internet services to residents in the Howe fringe area that are without viable internet options Howe City Councilman Bill French made a motion to counter the company with an offer of $150 per month for the first year, $400 per month for the second year, and $600 per month for subsequent years up to and including fiveyears including a $500 non-refundable application fee

Police Chief Carl Hudman reported to the council that the police department in the month of July answered 311 calls for service, made three felony arrests, seven misdemeanor arrests, generated 31 reports, responded to four accidents, and issued 195 citations

Wortham reported five leaks, 59 work orders and five dog calls on the utility side He also said that another dozen meters are scheduled to be set in Summit Hill next week for new homes

Howe Fire Chief Robert Maniet reported 57 calls which were a variation of EMS, mutual aid fires and city structure fires He announced that the fireworks show has been rescheduled for Sept 4 at 5:30 pm

Economic Development Director Monte Walker informed the council that Stark Lane Comprehensive Personnel Services has purchased the building behind Gabriela's and will begin operating from there in midSeptember He also stated that he has had visits with two different hydroponics companies looking at Howe The EDC will also be contracting Aerial Focus to create a development map with water, sewer, territorial areas and other information that will help developers with a overall scope of the city

A process has begun to seek a $75,000 matching grant to develop C C Jones Park on East Davis Street
