Councilman Greinke requested that if Council desires to rebid
the item, that heavy-duty truck manufactureres be invited to
bid, rather that dealers. Councilman Saltarelli felt that agen-
cies who failed to bid due to an oversight should not be allowed
to rebid on the item. Councilman Hoesterey concurred with
Councilman Greinke's concern that the manufacturer be contacted
directly, but in this instance the original bid be awarded. The
Director of Public Works pointed out that the stencil truck is a
one-ton chassis, so it is not really heavy-duty, but the body
and bid are totally customized.

lem exists, based on his experience of living next to the park-
ing lot the past five years. Mr. Bruce thanked the Council for
