(Mr. Bradsahw) This item "Discussion, Consideration and Action on the Ford Motor Credit Company Texas Equipment Lease Purchase Agreement" the way I understand it is we brought this item in April – I believe in April 11^th somewhere around in then, we talked about it we basically said yea that is what we want lets put in the next agenda to approve vote, make a resolution whatever it would be to whatever we go through and somehow it was dropped and was not placed back on the item the process and the wheels continued with the item and we and this Ford Motor Company were in some kind of contact about how to do this and they have sent people in to train our people and they are here at this time and so as our attorney Roger E. Beecham began to look at this one more time we realized we had not taken full action on this and so he requested that we bring this back up to take action neither yea or nay but since everything is here and ready to go forward this would be the perfect time to yea if that is the pleasure of the Board. (Mr. Taylor) this is something that was already approved in the budget wasn’t it? Yes. (Mr. Caldwell) what they are proposing is $121,000.00 our amount this year will be $24,000.00.

BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of Dallas County Water Control & Improvement District # 6 that:
