On the agenda for the Peru City Council tonight

Approve renewing Insurance Consultant Agreement with Dick Martuzzo of the Duncan Insurance Office for a two year period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2014 for a monthly fee of $650.00

Does Peru need to spend $7800 per year on a consultant? This is pretty much like a part time employee. Do we have that many insurance problems that need to be discussed all year long? Can this sometimes be a conflict of interest?

I also see on the agenda to approve the purchase of a 3 1/4 ton pick up with plow. I'm sure this was over $20,000. Was it put out for bid or will it be? Seems like that's policy now (anything over $20,000 should go out for bid).

Small wonder that businesses are leaving Peru in droves. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of incentive for a business to locate or stay when business is given to "out of towners". Seems that Jackson Kahl bought the white elephant on the corner and were not even considered for the insurance bid. Absolutely nothing against Brennan and Stuart, but it would seem to me that "one hand washes the other". What is Brennan and Stuart doing for Peru?
