which waS: explained for public information.
It was moved by Mr. Avery to refer the bids to the City Manager,
City Personnel and Russell and Axon to tabulate, analyze and make re-
commendations, the motion being seconded by Mr. Sundy. Following
discussion, the motion and second were withdrawn and Mr. Thayer moved
that this subject be referred to the City Attorney, City Manager and
Russell and Axon for their report on the apparent competent low bidder,
at the Council meeting next Monday night, the motion being seconded by.
Mr. Sundy.
Mayor Warren asked Mr. Russell: "If the first bidder on the
Sewage Plant and Lift Station does not specify that he will accept
other low bids on the second phase, is that automatic?"
~fr. Russell: "According to the specifications, unless they
qualify you can award a single section to anybody. That's according
to the specifications. Some have qualified. Itm not sure that I got
them all but unless there is a qualification you can award just sec-
t ion one.
Upon call of roll, 1~. Sundy, Mr. Thayer and Mayor Warren voted
in favor of the motion and Mr. Avery was opposed.
Mr. Sundy brought to the attention of the Council that there is
approximately 2000 feet of public beach in unprotected areas without
life guards and that he has heard many comments about residents not
wanting to swim in the area of the cabanas. City Manager Smitzes
informed the Council that he would have a recommendation concerning
same for next Monday's meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 2:35 P.M.
