| Consider, discuss and/or possible take action on Phone System Contract with Sooner Technology. | 7-0 | We’re paying $450 a month each on those two lines. So [Jerry Hartman of Sooner Technology] contacted AT&T. He’s going to be able to get that down to $100 per month and possibly $70 per month. So, I mean, the savings would be even 450-plus, that's almost, I don’t know, $700. Sounded like a pretty good savings to me. - Mayor Jerry Beech |

We ended up with one bid. One group that called me to bid, looked at some things and decided that they didn’t want to because of cost. One had also moved away, and the other didn’t tell me why they didn’t want to do it. So we had one bid and that is the Chamber of Commerce. - Mayor Jerry Beech |
