Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to award the contracts to the low bidders in all cases. e Mr. Lindberg stated that there is a remonstrance against one of the projects. At the June 11 council meeting some concerns were expressed. He asked if a resolution had been developed that satisfied those who were against the improve- ments earlier. Mr. Teitzel stated that the property owners were satisfied with the attempt to increase the amount of street parking and to monitor traffic and proposed through-truck restrictions in the future if necessary. The project was authorized and council should continue to be supportive to provide for the safety of cyclists, joggers, and pedestrians, and to accommodate increasing traffic volumes. Mr. Gleason interjected that the council needs a two-thirds vote to pass a motion with a remonstrance attached. Mr. Lindberg stated that he respects Councilor Wooten's decision regarding abstension until she receives more clarification on the policies, but he feels comfortable voting with the existing policies while remaining hopeful for possible change. Roll call vote; motion carried 6:0 with Councilor Wooten abstain- ing. Mr. Gleason indicated that staff would provide additional briefings in the future and council can then take action to attempt to change the policies and staff will work with them. e II.
