Session 1221, Minutes June 18, 1979 Page 10 G. T. Lawlow Co. has proposed installing new limestone steps rather than resurfacing the existing steps, accounting for the great disparity in the two bids. Hr. Ger- hardt Kramer, consulting architect, has advised that the City accept the Klaric bid which conforms entirely with the plans and specifications. Councilman Sabol said he felt there were too many items on the Consent Calendar. also feels the Council should get only one set of the Consent Calendar and other items such as bills, because it is too big an expenditure. He Councilman Adams said that the Consent Calendar was adopted by the Council to take care of items such as those on the calendar tonight, particularly the routine, every-- year purchases and budgetary transfers, l. ir. Adams said he leaves duplicate copies of material he receives with the City Clerk, so that it can be distributed to the public or others who might have need of it. Councilman Lieberman said the matter of the Consent Agenda should be brought up at a more appropriate time, after study, and discussed then. He agreed with Councilman Adams about the duplication issue. Councilman Metcalfe moved approval of the Consent Calendar. Councilman Glickert seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. LETTER TO COUNCIL ON WAGE AND PRICE STABILITY Councilman Adams proposed that the City }~nager write a letter to the Council on Wage and Price Stability, informing them of the differences in price on items pur- chased last year and the same items purchased this year.
