<br /> supervision of Mr. Frost, tOn motion of Councilman V�erder, seconded by
<br /> Councilma.n McNulty, the City Ma.nager was unanimously authorized to sign the
<br /> second supplemental contract, with the proviaion that 10 per cen� be with-
<br /> held until completion of the project.
<br /> RESOLUTION OF INTENTION 1946-1: City Attorney PRcCartny outlined possilile legal
<br /> , � choices for the City Council in the awarding of the contract under Resolu-
<br /> tion of Intention 1946-1, for which the loweat bid is $6,000 over the
<br /> estimated cost. Firstly, all bids may be rejected, As a second possibility
<br /> the district can be re-assessed to raise the deficit. The Municipal Im-
<br /> ' provement Act of 1913 provide� that one supplemental assessment may be
<br /> made in the same manner as the first; that protesta then ma.y be made onl
<br /> to the supplemental assessment; that no bonds are issued on the supplemen-
<br /> tal assessment as p�.yments must be made in cash. The procedure is for the
<br /> engineer.to make a reassessment. The Council should then adopt a reaolu-
<br /> • tion that the supolemental aseessment be made, and requiring notiCe of
<br /> hearing tuereon. In this case, notice must be given by mail, as for the
<br /> first assessment, Hearing must be set at leaet thirty days after notice. .
<br /> The Council may assume that it will approve the reassessment o�' the City
<br /> Engineer, either as subnitted, or ae modified upon such public hearing,
<br /> and the contract can be awarded today, in view of the fact that almost
<br /> kialf the cost is already anailable for payment, b4r. Blom suggested that
<br /> , , the date for hearing protests be aet on 8eptember 23rd in vierv of the
<br /> League Convention in 3an Diego on September 16th to 18th. It was the
<br /> opinion of the Council, after discussion, that it would be to the advan-
<br /> tage of the property ourners to award the contract as soon as possible;
<br /> that in view of rapidly riaing coste, delay in ma.king the avrard would per-
<br /> mit the withdratieal of the present bids, and bids made later might reflect
<br /> higher prices. City Engineer �Nilson pointed out that the increase in the
<br /> assessment will be almost 20 per cent because the total deficit of �6,000,
<br /> • must be raise by increasing the �33,000 of the present assessment, and
<br /> that the rest of the cost of the project comes from other sources rrhich
<br /> cannot be increased, City Manager Blom pointed out that delay now might
<br /> mean that the work could not be done until next year because of the
<br /> ;, rainy season, when conditions might be leae favorable. On motion of
<br /> ' Councilman FJerdar, seconded by Councilman McNulty, the following resolu-
<br /> tion was unanimously adopted, subject to approval of the 8tate Highway
