BUSINESS ITEMS 1. AWARD OF THE ARCHITECTURAL CONTRACT FOR THE PROPOSED
MAINTENANCE YARD
Discussion ensued regarding the scope of the project and
the ability of the City to review the various s~eps of the
design process as it unfolded.
The City Administrator advised that payments would be made
in accordance with the payment schedule included in the
agreement, and that there would be specific steps which
could function as review points for the City Council.
Councilman Sharp expressed the desire that the architect
provide a timeline schedule showing the progress anticipated
in the review points at which the Council may exercise its
various decisions to proceed further on the project. He
suggested that such a request be made in the transmittal
letter.
Moved by Sharp, seconded by Welsh that the contract with
Anthony and Langford providing for 7~ percent fee, with an
estimated project amount of $900,000 be approved and executed
by the Mayor on behalf of the City subject to approval as to
form by the City Attorney. Carried by roll call. Ayes:
Edgar, Schuster, Sharp, Welsh. Noes: None. Absent:
Saltarelli.
2. AUTHORIZATION TO FILL TWO VACANCIES IN THE MAINTENANCE
YARD
In response to inquiries, Mr. Bopf and Mr. West indicated
that we would be using a tree trimmer in a training capacity
as a street sweeper necessitating the hiring of a new
Maintenance Man I to fill the vacancy created by this movement.
The Maintenance Man I would function as a tree trimmer trainee.
It was anticipated that it would take approximately one year
for that Maintenance Man I to gain proficiency as a tree
trimmer. Open competition will be provided for anyone in
the Department that wishes to compete for the position of
tree trin~ner which will eventually be filled after an
appropriate training period.
The second position involved a custodian vacancy which will be
vacant within approximately one week. Councilman Sharp asked
if the staff had considered obtaining outside competitive bids
for custodial services and how those bids may have compared
with the service that was now being rendered by the staff.
