Session 1744 January 25, 1999 Ms. Colquitt informed the Council that the City Hall employees elected Robert Humphrey, Jr., Sanitation Department, to the Non-Uniformed Pension Board for an unexpired term ending July 1, 1999. Council acknowledged the election. CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS: AGENDA #1 - CONSENT CALENDAR (1 ITEMS): #1 - Groby Bridge Rails Contract: The City invited eleven contractors to bid on replacing the deteriorating Groby Bridge railings. On September 29, 1998, only one bid was received. The bid was from Schuster Engineering for $17,300. This was considered too high and was rejected. We are currently under contract with Midwest Mudjacking and Construction Co. for a curb and sidewalk project. We asked them to submit a quote for the rails, with the provision that they could do the work in the spring of 1999. In response, they submitted a bid in the amount of $10,835. This work will meet the need without jeopardizing future grants for a new bridge. Mr. Ollendorff recommends acceptance of Midwest Mudjacking's bid of $10,835 added their current contract. Mr. Wagner moved approval of the consent calendar. Mr. Sharpe seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. AGENDA ITEM #2: SEWER LATERAL POLICY: Mr. Ollendorff recommends adoption of the Sewer Lateral Insurance Program Policy. During the study session on this item Council requested that the policy include language that allows the City Manager to waive requirements in cases of emergency. This language has been included in #4 of the proposed policy. This will be offered to the voters at the April 6, 1999 election. Mr. Munkel moved approval. Mr. Sharpe seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. PERSONNEL REPORT: Mayor Adams acknowledged the personnel report for January 22, 1999 as duly accepted. 2
