Councilman Petersen questioned provision in the ordinance awarding CATV franchise proposed for adoption including possibility of franchisee making a $1.00 addi- tional charge for the converter when twenty stations available. City Attorney advised this provision was included in the franchise ordinance and could either be deleted at this time and ordinance be reintroduced, or could be amended, which _ would be less expensive as would save repeating full publication costs of the entire franchise. Councilman Keckley advised Council that franchisee had made statement no extra charge would be made for converter and recommended Council consider amendment as suggested. Action deferred to regular meeting. Councilman Rosselli requested further clarification on bids received for Schaberg Library addition and remodeling with possibility of awarding contract to lowest bidder on the base bid, and alternates held for separate bidding and award. City Manager advised Staff recommended award be made to lowest bidder which included alternates °(shelving and carpeting) to make a complete construction project as rebidding on the alternates separately would add to costs by rewriting of specifi- cations and calling for bids and risk chancing receipt of higher bids, whereas present bid for alternates, if accepted, should result in less costs as had been stated by architects, He also recommended that fireplace be included in the plans as this could not be added at a later date and felt this most important to enhance lounge area. City Attorney asked to further clarify Councils responsibility in accepting lowest bid possible. Further discussion continued to regular meeting.
