South B <br />Special <br />6. NEW <br />Redevelopment Commission <br />ting April 20, 1978 <br />INESS (Cont'd <br />r. Wiggins: Well then, that puts this wage scale in doubt just <br />s the current wage scale is published in the register is in doubt. <br />f HUD has threatened us with not approving any of these or paying <br />ny of these contracts, we are as bad off with one as we are with <br />he other. In fact, I think at this point until we can get HUD <br />ff the dime, we hardly dare approve any kind of a contract. <br />Harcus: In most cases where I have spot checked the existing <br />blication I have found reference point. In other words, I have <br />and that a year ago the carpenters did get paid $7.35 hourly. <br />would have a large degree of confidence that at one time this <br />evailing rate was appropriate to our community. <br />r. Wiggins: That is before Mr. Dew said he wouldn't pay. <br />hat is before he said what they approved of, and I think we should <br />ump the threat back in the guy's lap, in other words, get on or <br />et off. <br />. Harcus: I believe this will all fall on me. <br />r. Nimtz: No, I don't believe so. You told Mr. Dew you wanted it <br />n writing, which I believe is very good; so let's see what <br />r. Dew comes up with. <br />r. Wiggins: Would it be any advantage to initiate communication <br />etween this Commission? <br />r. Nimtz: I think it would be well if Mr. Butler wrote to Mr. Dew <br />nd told him this item was on our agenda this morning and followed <br />discussion, and explain exactly what happened to him. <br />r. Wiggins: We should tell him plainly that we can't operate <br />ithout some kind of punitive direction. Particularly, as long as <br />e are being subjected to threat in this area. <br />r. Robinson: I have dealt with Mr. Dew and I do not know what direction <br />e will go in; you can never keep up with him. I am not assured what <br />irection he is going to take, so I want to find out something, but <br />certainly don't approve with what he is saying now. <br />Mr. diggins made a motion that the Director and Council be authorized to <br />or directed to enter into such communications, and establish exactly what <br />wage scales HUD will approve, seconded by Mr. Robinson and it was carried. <br />Mr. Donaldson made a motion that the other two bids be tabled until the <br />next Cotrried. <br />ission meeting to be held on May 5th, 1978, seconded by Mr. Wiggins and <br />it was <br />-10- <br />
