Mayor Rhodes stated that he had received a letter from Wheeler Manufacturing of
Morley, Missouri, complaining about the purchasing policy of the City of Cape
Girardeau. Specifically, their complaint was that they had bid the lowest price for a
trailer, but were not awarded the bid because they were not a local vendor. Mr. Al
Stoverink, Assistant City Manager, reported that the Council set a policy some time ago
that if a local vendor was within five percent of the low bid, that the bid could be
awarded to the local vendor. Mr. Fischer informed the Council that it would be up to
them whether or not to change the policy.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned upon Mr. Spradling's motion,
Mr. Richards' second, and the following vote: Ayes, Gateley, Limbaugh, Rhodes,
Richards, Spradling, Wulfers. Nays, none.
