REGULAR MEETING JULY 2, 1973 A regular meeting of the Board of Public Works convened at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, July 2, 1973 with Mr. Farrand and Mr. Seitz present. Minutes of the previous meeting were reviewed and approved. -- PAVING OF DUBAIL STREET WEST OF OLIVE Mr. Al Bailey of the Sollitt Construction Company appeared at the meeting with Mrs. Joan Craftman who is planning a truck wash business on Olive Street. Mr. Bailey said that they had discussed the matter of the City paving a section of Dubail Street near the proposed building with Mr. Richardson with the suggestion that they would furnish the material and the City the equipment for this paving. There was a discussion of the work involved and it was determined that demucking of the area before any paving could be done would be quite expensive. The Board asked Mr. Bailey if the Sollitt Construction Company could demuck the street area at the same time they remove the muck from the building site. Upon motion made, seconded and carried, the matter was referred to the Bureau of Engineering for investigation and report and Mr. Bailey was asked to discuss this with Mr. Farra nd.
