<br />In a letter to the Board, Mr. John E. Leszczynski, Director,

<br />items. It has come to his attention that the names on the box
<br />need to be updated and therefore he submitted a Resolution form
<br />from Trustcorp Bank, P.O. Box 6, South Bend, Indiana, for Board
<br />approval and execution. The Resolution Form certifies that Mr.
<br />John E. Leszczynski and Mr. Michael P. Meeks, of the Department

<br />APPROVE CONTRACT FOR GAS SERVICE AT MUNICIPAL SERVICES FACILITY
<br />Mr. John E. Leszczynski, Director, Public Works, submitted to the
<br />Board a Contract for gas service with the Northern Indiana Public
<br />Service Company for service at the Municipal Services Facility.
<br />He advised that due to a recent rate increase at NIPSCO, Mr.
<br />William Penn has been reviewing different options for providing
<br />natural gas to heat and operate the Municipal Services Facility.
<br />Based on his discussions, it is advantageous for the City to
<br />contract under rate schedule #325 for uninterruptible gas
<br />service. This new rate, based on 1988 consumption figures,
<br />should result in a reduction in the gas bill of approximately
<br />$1,800.00. Therefore, Mr. Leszczynski recommended that the Board
<br />approve the new rate schedule. The Contract indicates that
<br />NIPSCO shall begin to supply gas service about January 14, 1989
<br />and the Contract shall continue in effect for an initial term
<br />ending January 12, 1990 and from year to year thereafter unless
<br />cancelled. Upon a motion made by Ms. Humphreys, seconded by Mrs.
<br />DeClercq and carried, the recommendation was accepted and the
<br />Contract approved.
<br />APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 - ST. JOSEPH/WAYNE PARKING FACILITY
<br />Mr. Michael P. Meeks, Director, Division of Engineering,
<br />submitted to the Board Change Order No. 1 as submitted by Carl J.
