The addendum <br />provided for a bond covering the total bid price of $40,400, the <br />removal of all but three existing building piers and a fee schedule <br />to be provided to the City Engineer for the removal of brush and <br />debris presently found in the west race. Upon motion made, seconded <br />and carried, the contract and the addendum were approved by the <br />Board. <br />DEMOLITION PERMIT WAIVED - DEMOLITION OF OLIVER GENERATION STATION <br />In view of the 100% performance bond provided by Tony Tomich & Sons <br />for the demolition of the Oliver Generating Station, the Board sent <br />a letter to Forrest West, Building Commissioner, requesting that the <br />requirement for posting of a demolition bond be waived and the <br />necessary permit issued. <br />PARKING BAN APPROVED FOR 100 BLOCK NORTH AND SOUTH MICHIGAN <br />The Bureau of Traffic and Lighting informed the Board that the request <br />of Louis Wilcox, Director of River Bend Plaza, to ban parking in <br />100 blocks of North and South Michigan Streets, had been investigated. <br />The Bureau recommended that the request be granted and that the two <br />blocks be closed to all traffic by erecting barricades. The parking <br />meter heads will be removed and Mr. Hazinski noted that new locations <br />for the meters have already been provided on South William Street so <br />that the number of meters will remain the same. Upon motion made, <br />seconded and carried, the Board approved the recommendation and the <br />two blocks will be barricaded. <br />RECOMMENDATION TO WAIVE RENTAL FEE FOR MORRIS CIVIC AUDITORIUM APPROVED <br />The Board received a recommendation from Floyd Jessup, Manager of <br />the Morris Civic Auditorium, that he had reviewed the request of <br />Mrs. Sandy Greenhut to waive the rental fee for the auditorium for the <br />ethnic dance program on July 4, in connection with Festival 174. <br />Mr. Jessup said he concurred with the waiving of the fee but noted <br />that there would be stage costs and other charges over which he had <br />no control which would have to be paid. Upon motion made, seconded <br />and carried, the Board approved the recommendation and requested that <br />Mr. Jessup be asked to provide them with an estimate of the costs <br />which will be incurred . The cost estimate will be forwarded to <br />Louis Wilcox, Director of River Bend Plaza, to see whether it can be <br />paid out of a promotional account. <br />REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR VEHICLE - YOUTH SERVICES BUREAU <br />Mr. Cappy Gagnon of the Youth Services Bureau was present and <br />informed the Board that the Bureau would like to purchase a van. <br />Money was requested and has been appropriated from federal revenue <br />sharing funds. The cost of the van will be about $4500, and part <br />of the cost will be obtained by trading in a vehicle which the Bureau <br />presently has. Mr. Barcome asked where the money to purchase this <br />vehicle came from. Mr. Gagnon said he was not sure but he thought <br />the funds came from an L.E.E.A. account. Mr. Barcome noted that the <br />Board would want to be sure there was authorization to spend those <br />funds before they traded the vehicle. Mr. Roemer suggested that the - <br />Board authorize advertising for bids and, in the meantime, request <br />the Legal Department to check the source of the original funds and <br />authorization to purchase the vehicle being traded in. Upon motion <br />made, seconded and carried, the Board authorized advertising for bids <br />for the vehicle and requested that the City Attorney investigate the <br />matter of the source of funding for the presently owned vehicle to <br />see whether the Board can use that vehicle as a trade-in. <br />1 <br />
