COMMENTS BY PUBLIC ON CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS
a) Colleen Dixon, East Side Improvement Committee, commented on agenda item #B-4
entitled, "Contract award for Emerson Park and Lawrence Park restroom facilities" and
questioned why two of the low bids were disqualified and if they could be given the
opportunity to amend the bid to save money on the project. Further, Ms. Dixon was
concerned with transferring Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds into this
project from the Eastside Lighting Program. It was explained that the City could not allow
the two low bidders to amend their bids and further that the Eastside Lighting Program
has been completed and is not the same project as the Eastside alley lighting project.
Following further discussion, Council Member Davenport made a motion to reject all bids
for the Emerson and Lawrence Park restroom facilities; however, the motion died for lack
of a second.
