Therefore, Mr. Wiltrout is <br />recommending that the quote be awarded to the lowest quote, for a metal constructed <br />building, rather than a masonry constructed building. Mr. Gilot stated that he would <br />prefer that they spend the little extra and build a masonry building that would be more <br />aesthetically appealing and last longer. He noted that the trend for the City is to build <br />better buildings, not cheaper buildings. Mr. Gilot stated that he is also concerned that if <br />they construct a metal building, the neighbors will be upset. Mr. Wiltrout stated that he <br />may need to pull the award from the agenda while they look for ways to come up with the <br />funding since they were already over their anticipated expense. <br />- Monthly Performance and Goals Report <br />Mr. Al Miller, Central Services, presented his Monthly Performance and Goals Report <br />for his division. <br />- Resolution No. 17-2007. <br />Mr. George Adler, Community and Economic Development, stated this was a Resolution <br />for adopting a Fiscal Plan and establishing a policy for the provision of services to an ' <br />annexation area in Centre Township at Pulling Street and U.S. 31. <br />- Addendum -Near Northwest Neighborhood, Inc. <br />Ms. Liz Maradik, Community and Economic Development, stated this was just a time <br />extension to an existing agreement. <br />-Self Propelled, Chassis Mounted Slinger Manure Spreader <br />Mr. Al Greek, Environmental Services, asked if there were any concerns about the award <br />of the bid for the above mentioned equipment.
