Staff report stated agreement provides for payment of 5¢ per cubic yard royalty to the State for the removal of approximately 80,000 cu. yds. of material from Bel- mont Slough, City also being required to furnish a bond in the amount of $25,000. On question, Councilman Henderson questioned source of funds for purchase of bond. City Attorney advised fee would probably not exceed $250 and would be purchased from District funds, lease expiring in one year. He stated the beginning and ending dales of the year would be governed by the date of signing the agreement. The bond can be relinquished if the lease is concluded sooner, and renegotiated if necessary to carry over longer. Councilman Henderson questib.ied purpose of bond, and any special circumstances imposed, and was advised by City Attorney it was to insure compliance with pro- visions set out in agreement, most of which were normal type of provisions, some not even applicable to this situation. City Attorney also advised little chance of breach of agreement as contract covers taking out of material only, no breach of agreement as contract covers taking out of material only, no breach possible if none taken out.

Woodside Expressway Overpass (Stambaugh Street) City Manager reviewed his report, previously submitted to Council, concerning background for proposal of overpass situated at Stambaugh Street. He further reported final plans have now been completed as authorized by Council and being reviewed by engineering Staff. He reported little or no difficulty was anticipated in securing approval of the State following a review of preliminary plans. City Manager also advised Staff estimate of cost at approxi- mately $72,000 has now been superseded by cost estimate of $121,800 as submitted by DeLeuw, Cather & Company, designers of proposed overpass, - difference of cost estimates frot�6riginal by Staff were without benefit of any detailed engineering data, and also due to fact State has advised necessary rights of way must be pur- chased from them on same basis as property required to be purchased from individuals. In summary, he asked for Council guidance before proceeding further, particularly — since State has not confirmed the use of gas tax funds, although he was still con- vinced use of 186 funds would be approved. Auditor -Accountant advised if gas tax funds not allowed, it would be almost mandatory to hold project over until next year to see what balances left in sales tax funds as further appropriations were necessary for completion of Multi -Purpose Building.
