which was from Dunkley Sur�acing Company, the total lump sum bid being $8,981 00.
Mr. Brown, the City Engineer, stated that the price bid is not out of line in view
of special surfacing required, and the other companies most likely did not bid
because they could not meet the price since the method previously bid was much more
expensive method of construction. Mr. Brown explained that this was for two tennis
courts and one multi-purpose court which could later be developed into two more
tennis courts. The question was asked of Mr. Kohlan, City Attorney, if th� Council
could accept the bid if there was only one bidder. Mr. Kohlan stated that he was
not sure, he would have to check the statute book, but believes that a recently passed
law would permit accepting the one bid, Motion by Sohanson to award the bid for
two tennis courts and one multi-purpose court to Dunkley Surfacing Company in the
amount of $5,981.00 inasmuch as plans and specifications were sent to five bidders,

problem as far as maintenance of the inside of the tank is concerned, but before this

the pressure to the area so the tank could be taken out of service. The City Engineer
suggested that the cracks on the outside of the tank be repaired now on a negotiated
price with his contractor. Motion by Johanson to re�ect the bid fer painting and

The Mayor declared the hearing on four-plexes in Nagels Woodlands re-opened. A
question was asked what Mr. Peterson's alternate plans were if the four-plexes could not
go in, and what the completion date of his proposed buildings was. Mr. Peterson

in off Able Street, but if he puts in the four-plexes, he would bring in the cars
fram Baker Avenue, Mr. Lubeck - 7525 Able Street asked if the Council could- not ,
control the directiocls that the houses would face. N1r. Johanson stated that the
Building Board would take a dim view of the hungalows facing Baker Street. Mr.
Peterson stated that the four-plexes would have a stone front and would sell for
around $40,D00.00. Mrs. Klingl - 7364 Ab1e Street, asked if the Council could
not make him face the double bungalows to Able Street. Mr. Kohlan stated that
his off-hand opinion is that the Council could not, but he would have to check
further into this matter to be sure, Mr. Johanson stated that if Mr. Peterson

led to believe that there would be double bungalows in this area in the first place.

Street would have to pay for the curb and street themselves. Mr. Wolke asked if there
were service connections to the east on the storm sewer and water line on Able
Street. Mr. Knu*_son stated that there were, and that they had been put in at the
request of the owner of the property. Mr. Wolke stated that he would think in
this instance, a developer to the east would have to pay for them. Mr. Wolke
stated that he thought it would be a good idea to present drawings of the proposed
buildings to the people so they could see what the drawings would look like, Mr.
Peterson stated that he would have some sketches drawn up and bring them in, and
would also have a sketch drawn up on double bungalows. Mr. Wolke stated that he
da.d not think that all of the buildings going into the area should be identical.
A question from the audience was asked if the completion date of these buildings
could not be established, Mr. Peterson stated that if he puts in the four-plexes, ,
he would try to do most of his construction off Baker Street to keep the traffic
off A61e Street. He stated that he would put in Baker Street within the next two
months. Mr. Johanson asked if the people would like to come back next week and
have another meeting on this if the drawings of the four-plexes, and the double
bungalows could Ue available at that time. Tt was decided that a meeting on this
matter would be held at 7:OD P,M, next Monday, August 13, 1962. The Mayor declared
