6. INEW BUSINESS (Cont'd be found for the gas until it was daylight. It can be a catastrophe when the cut -off ;valves are not shown to try to find them. When we go into this with the money spent, it is an obligation for someone to have definitive drawings, and have the cut - off valves shown for all the utilities. Mr. Kagel said this is vitally needed, and asked if there is any possibility to have this placed on the "As- Built" drawings at additional cost perhaps, and to get the information from all the utility companies? This would be a saving for the community in the long - run for the future. Mr.. Brownell advised that he believed we can get this in- formation from the utility companies without any obliga- tion. Mr. McMahon said this should be placed with the Fire Department and the Police Department without any cost to us, and he concurs with what is said. The obligation to get this information and to have it in the Engineering Department and the Police and Fire Departments lies with the City Engineer's Office, per Mr. Brownell. Mr. Slabaugh said as long as they have the "As- Built" plans to refer to, they will obtain this other information. Mr. Edward F. Soltesz, Chairman, Governmental Coordination Committee, with the River Bend Plaza Advisory'Committee, said that he has appeared before us on projects on the Plaza and that this was one of the discussions we had at the time.. This is something that has to be. So many times in these projects, all this information is available, and it should be presented as an overlay of any construction going on. It is just good business sense. Those things that are deleted now from Michigan Street in the River Bend Plaza area should be obtained from the utility companies and given to the Engineering, Fire and Police Departments. These things have to be considered, and a lot of stress has to be placed on it. He said there is no way in the world that we can do a job on a contract without these related things, and if they are available from the utility companies, these things should be in the Engineering Department and placed on file. Mr. Wiggins made the motion that the expenditure be approved for the "As- Built" drawings. Motion was seconded by Mr. Donaldson and carried. 7. PROGRESS REPORTS Leaking Vaults, R -66: Mr. Bill E.
