He also informed the Council that on a very cold day the Ambulance Service received a call and left the garage door open to the bay for 4 ½ hours. Mayor Delgado said that he would look into the November 21st call and that he had already addressed the garage doors being left open and would get back to Charlie on the matter.

Kate Farmer gave the Council the reconciliation reports and the Financial Review. Mayor& Council Reports: Mayor Delgado let the Council know that Sergeant Drilling will be giving the Town a quote for a pump test on the RV Well at the Golf Course. The main irrigation well has a lot of manganese and is causing problems for the sprinklers. The RV well was tested and did not have the high levels of manganese and could be a possible well that could supply both the irrigation and RV. The pump test will tell if it can pump the required gallons per minute that the irrigation and RV systems would require. If the well will produce the amount needed the Mayor would like to use County Concensus funds to install a larger pump to alleviate the problems with the irrigation system.
