MOVED BY STOKNES, SECONDED BY HERNANDEZ, THAT COUNCIL AWARD
THE CONTRACT TO M.A. SEGALE, INC. FOR CONSTRUCTION OF
SOUTHCENTER BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENTS (62ND AVE. SOUTH TO THE
T -LINE BRIDGE) IN THE AMOUNT OF $908,439.75. MOTION CARRIED.
Council President Harris explained that Council has a policy
that in matters such as an appeal they prefer to have them
heard before the full Council. Tonight there are two members
absent with a public hearing scheduled on an appeal of the
Board of Architectural Review decision on plans for a
54 -unit apartment complex proposed by Gencor. She has polled
the Council whether to hold the public hearing this evening
and let the absent members listen to the 'tape or postpone the
hearing until all members are present. Council felt it would
be more reasonable to have everybody listen at the same time.
She suggested that the hearing be postponed to February 29
when a Special Meeting could be held.
Cris Crumbaugh, Attorney, asked if the hearing could be held
before the 29th. Their building permit application has been
in since June 9, and this would make it another month's
delay. Steve Friedman, Gencor, said they have a financial
business issue that needs to be closed prior to that date.
Discussion followed and the 29th was agreed upon.
MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY STOKNES, THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING
BE DELAYED UNTIL FEBRUARY 29, 1988. MOTION CARRIED.
MOVED BY STOKNES, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT COUNCIL AUTHORIZE
THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT THAT WOULD ALLOW

MOVED BY STOKNES, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT COUNCIL AUTHORIZE
THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH ENTRANCO ENGINEERS,
INC. FOR CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR SOUTHCENTER
BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $182,370.00.*
Ross Earnst, City Engineer, explained that this is an esti-
mate of the cost. It is an hourly contract and the City will
only pay for the services that are required. Enough money is
included to cover the total contract time. If additional
funds are needed, it will come from the ending fund balance.
This is a negotiated contract.
*MOTION CARRIED.
Attorney Hard reported that a lawsuit has been filed against
the City by a man who was rescued by the Fire Department
during an industrial accident at the Rendering Works.
Don Morrison, City Administrator, reported that the
Management Review Study for the Public Works department and
General Administration has been completed and distributed to
Council. He recommended that Council read at least the
recommendation in the executive summary and discuss it at a
Committee of the Whole Meeting. This is an important report.

REPORTS Cont.
Real Estate Firm
ADJOURNMENT
Council President Harris explained that she has been looking
into the possibility of contracting with a real estate firm
to handle City real estate transactions. They would go as
the Real Estate Company to look at areas the City might be
interested in purchasing. In this way, they could get a com-
mitment and the owner would not raise the price just because
they knew the City was interested.
MOVED BY HERNANDEZ, SECONDED BY DUFFIE, THAT THE SUGGESTION
OF CONTRACTING WITH A REAL ESTATE FIRM TO REPRESENT THE CITY
IN REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BE PLACED IN THE COMMUNITY
AFFAIRS COMMITTEE. MOTION CARRIED.
