Maklng LaTour low bldder.
Before awardlng the bld the Councll dlscussed thelr concern about the water
problems In Psyk's 4th Addlt10n and that 1t appears that 1t has not been
corrected at the t1me of the spec1al meet1ng. Don Cornel1us stated that
he would llke to hold off award1ng the contract untll the problems are resolved.
The d1Scuss10n focused on th1S 1ssue for a few m1nutes and 1t was agreed
that 1f the contractor could get the work done before the contract was slgned
that LaTour could be awarded the oontract.
Another lssue dlscussed was the fact that the C1ty Eng1neer was not present
for the meet1ng, so that the counc1loould look at the b1ds and have any
quest10ns they mlght have answered. Maureen expla1ned that she had gotten
a call from Chuck ask1ng 1f he should be there. Maureen sald that because
the C~ty had gotten the letter w1th Meyer-Rohl1n that ~t would be O.K. not
to be there. It was agreed that 1n the future the eng1neer w1ll be requ~red
to be there for contract award~ng.
There appeared to be no other d1Scuss~on regard~ng the b1d open1ng so a
motlon was made. A motlon to award the contract to LaTour Constructlon,
prov~de that the dra1nage problems ~n Psyk's Add~t10n be corrected before
