I <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Session 1308, Minutes Page 9 <br /> May 24, 1982 <br /> <br /> which were discussed some time ago. Mr. Ollendorff said the bids were so favorable <br /> that all of the optional items that were discussed would be done. <br /> <br /> CONSIDERATION OF BIDS FOR PAINT AND.EQUIPMENT.- HOME REPAIR PROGRAM <br /> <br /> The City Manager said the City solicited bids from five area suppliers for the fur- <br /> nishing of paint and painting equipment for the 1982 Home Repair Program, with the <br /> following response: <br /> Pittsburgh Paints. $6,531.76 <br /> (no bids on one item) <br /> <br /> Mid-States Paint and Chemical $6,626.99 <br /> Brod-Dugan $6,858.10 <br /> <br /> Pratt & Lambert, Inc. $9,180.09 <br /> <br /> Tiemann Industrial Hardware $9,306.65 <br /> (no bid on three items) <br /> <br /> Mr. Ollendorff recommended that the order be split as follows: Pittsburgh Paint, <br /> $3,093.39; Brod-Dugan, $1,665.00; and Mid-States Paint and Chemical, $1,152.56 for <br /> a total of $5,910.95. <br /> Mr. Adams moved approval, with Mrs. Metcalfe seconding the motion. <br /> <br /> In response to Mr. Levy, Mr. Ollendorff said it was not possible to work on all the <br /> homes requested, even though the program was expanded last year. He said the same <br /> number of youngsters will be working in the program this summer, and it was expect- <br /> ed that approximately the same number of homes will be repaired as were done last <br /> summer, <br /> All voted Aye. <br /> <br /> NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES MEMBERSHIP <br /> The City Manager said a policy decision was needed regarding the City°s continued <br /> membership in the National League of Cities (NLC). He noted if current dues were <br /> not paid, the City would continue as an indirect member of the NLC through the Mis- <br /> souri Municipal League and would be entitled to attend conferences and hold commit- <br /> tee assignments. However, the City would lose the regular publications, direct <br /> vote at the annual meeting and the right to hold certain offices on official com- <br /> mittees. Current dues have already been budgeted and will be paid unless Council <br /> instructs otherwise, but Mr. Ollendorff said 1983 dues would not be paid unless the <br /> Council budgeted money for that purpose. <br /> Mr. Adams said he did not understand why this matter was being brought up at this <br /> time, since the paying of the current dues was discussed last year, and a decision <br /> reached to pay them. Mr. Ollendorff said he had advised the Council that he be- <br /> lieved the NLC was not serving the best interests of cities like University City at <br /> this time, and several councilmembers, after receiving that opinion, had asked that <br />
