i . vehicles in a wrecked condition awaiting repair outside the screened area wou1d not necessarily violate requirements. He said the present situation'was an attempt to deal with what had appeared to be more . wrecked vehicles outside a screened area, and an attempt to sensitize the business operators to the condition of their operation. Mr. Lieuallen said it seemed the inspectors had made observations . that did not relate to the request for a wrecking license. He won- dered how the inspector could make that distinction between the two operations,and whether Council should address that situation in the future. Assistant Manager noted that would be a very difficult question to deal with. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to approve the appli- cation for a wrecker's license. Motion carried with all Councilors present voting aye, except Delay voting no and Mr. Bradley abstaining. IV. Improvement Petition Res. No. 2792--Authorizing initiating process for street-paving, walkway, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer construction to serve Dorella Park Subdivision was read by number and title. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel, to adopt the resolution. Motion carried unanimously. V. Award of Coburg Road Storm Sewer Contract--Tabulation attached. Manager noted the recent decision by the Federal court ruling in favor e of the City to receive the funds for this project. He said this was part of an EDA grant in the amount of $771,000. To meet Federal requirements, the City had done some preparatory work. All papers were in order and met Federal requirements, and staff was asking Council approval. He noted also, in addition to employing many people in the area, the pipe to be used in the sewer line would be manufac- tured locally and it would be necessary to get an early start. Mr. Haws wondered what use would be made of the difference in the amount of money between the grant received and the contract bid award by Wildish. Don Allen, Public Works Director, said this was only one bid in the course of using the total amount of money. He said the City would be using change orders and separate contract provisions to make alternative outlets for the project. He said staff would be working with the Federal agency, again noting this is only a partial award of the entire project. Ms. Smith asked Mr. Allen for comment on the spread difference on the bids. Mr. Allen said it seems to be a standard procedure recently in having a wide range on bids. He said Wildish was well within the estimate of the project. e 11/30/77--8 8~b
