The possibility of an answering service was investigated. An
attachment is available for $85.00 which can both give and receive
minimal messages. The attachment would be the permanent property
of the Council for the afore mentioned price, with no further cost
involved. A similar answering service from the telephone company
would cost $15.00 a month plus the initial installment cost. The
President suggested putting the phone and answering service on a
trial basis in order to determine the necessity of a telephone
answering system to the function of the Council. Floyd Oliver
made a motion that the Council install the phone and buy the an-
swering attachment to go with it. Motion seconded by Nancy Clark
and followed by unanimous agreement.
