machines would pay a fee of $600; $100 for the amusement license and $10/machine. The

systems from Key Wholesale, Inc., Sandy, Utah. He recommended a Nederman Magna Track
Source Capture Exhaust System at a cost of $23,238.19. Key Wholesale has agreed to finance
the purchase of this system. The Council discussed purchasing the system, putting $5,000
