This was concurred in by the City Manager. Councilman Herl�mer remarked on � the �155.00 difference between alternates 2 and 3 and asked if they should put in "'� alternate 2. The City F�gineer stated that he checked into the matter and there is a difference of only two piles so he recommended alternate 3. Councilman Spillers moved to accept the low bid of Healg Tibbitts as recommended by the City Engineer, seco�ided , by �ouncilman Herk n�er. Councilman 1�eiss read the following prepared statement: The continued question of expending money on this project and yet refusin� to , take neceasary steps toward ascertaining ultimate costs or to permit the pre- ' paration of comprehensive plans and reports as to status and operation serves !, to aggravate my curiosity as to the why$ and �rherefores of the whole project. ! At our last rneeting I me.de a motion requesting the City Manager to prepare such a comprehensive report on the operation of this activity. If this a ctivity is ' not being used as a sort of political football there should be no reason for it not being handled by the proper administrative authorities and the employees hired for that purpose rather than by a member of this council. Nor should there be any reason for any of us ob�ecting to such a report if politics is not involved. ,�_-�� .�� „„�.� � _..��,»�, �-- A:�x »_.��A .� w ,.�h __ �— _
