Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mr. Weekes - Yes; Mayor Scheifley - Yes. Said

3. The City Manager reported that eight (8) resolutions authorizing
improvements of Miller Park, is before Council for passage consideration.
He stated that each resolution that is passed would award a contract
for the work specified in the resolution. The eight improvements
would total a contract amount of $100,636.56. The City has provided,
in Federal Revenue Sharing Fund Allocations, a total of $86,500 for
these eight purposes, which would leave $14,136.56. The $86,500 allo-
cation does not include an appropriation in the amount of $23,000 for
four handball courts. It is thought that these improvements that have
been bid should proceed and that the City should take the additional
$14,136.56 from the funds allocated for four handball courts in Miller
Park and address this subject later with regard to handball c~ourts.
Mr. Weekes questioned the difference in the amount of the.bi~s
and suggested that the passage of Resolution No. 26-78, regarding.the~~
fence, be deferred since there was only one bid and readvertise it.
Mr. Randolph questioned the bids received for the paving.
He stated that both are substantially secured paving firms (Carr Soil
& Sod-Driveways and Hardrives of Delray, Inc.) and it shouldn't be
an $11,000 difference unless the City is going to get subquality
paving from one of them.
Mr. Weekes suggested that Council vote on each resolution
individually.

on this item from Campbell Construction Co. in the amount of $6,750

stated that it seems to him that even if they readvertised this, with
Campbell's bid of $6,750, there isn't a lot you could do with it.

or CBS. Ken Ellingsworth, Executive Director of the Chamber of
Commerce, stated that he does not know; he thinks it is an elevated
type structure.

press boxes; he stated he thought there was already a press box there.

rather than a press box per se.

City work.

cause he would like to see as much of this work completed as soon as
