Gassin Base Bid 24,475.00 25,300.00 23,439.00 22,703.50 Alt. 1 1,619.00 1,790.00 1,557.00 1,599.15 Alt. 2 980.00 979.00 745.00 809.55 Alt. 3. 2,209.00 2,538.00 1,700.00 2,061.15 Alt. 4 705.00 759.00 636.00 685.65 Total Did 29,988.00 31066.00 28,077.00 27,859.00 The _low base bid of Avery Gassin exceeds the esti- mate of the Engineering Department by X6,000, but the'Department considers its estimate as too low. - The City Manager stated that in addition to the $18,750bequest from Lee Jones, money could be advanced for this project from the Capital Outlay Fund and then returned when the balance of the bequest is received.

Glaves reported that the Planning Department ESTIMATE had recently reviewed the City's growth and esti- FOR 1963 mated an increase of approximately 1,050 since the population survey conducted by the State Department of Finance last year. The State charges approxi- mately $300 for an estimate of population. This estimate is then used by the State in allocating revenues to the city. Since the amount received from the State on Motor Vehicle and Gas Tax funds is approximately S8 per capita, Mr. Glaves said it MWAE Minutes of March 6, 1963 continued would be advantageous to have the State make a population estimate again this year. Councilman Culbertson moved that the City Manager be authorized to contract with the State Department of Finance to have_.a population estimate made for the City of Lodi. The motion was seconded by Councilman Dow and carried. WATER WELL City Manager Glaves reviewed a report from the REPAIRS Superintendent of Utilities on unforeseen conditions of three of the City's wells which required immediate repairs. Wells #3 and #8 need redrilling and developing. The engine for Well #6 had to be re- placed which was done by rehabilitating a surplus diesel engine. The estimated cost of this work is 389212; however, no funds were provided in the current budget for these projects. Also, it has been discovered that sand -traps need to be installed on Well #3 and Well #8. The sand trap for Well #3 should be in when the redrilling is done to avoid additional cost; however, this is not the case with the sand trap for Well #8 and the City Manager recommends it be installed at a later date. The estimated cost of the sand trap for Well #3 is $2,675. Therefore, an estimated $10,887 is needed at this time to get the most necessary work done. Mr. Glaves stated that 34,780 had been budgeted to exchange the pumps on Well it2 and #9 and installation of a sand trap on 7#9; however, this project is able to be deferred and he recommends that this 54,780 be used plus $6,107 from the Contingent Fund. On motion of Councilman Brown, Ullmann second, the Council authorized the transfer of 54,780 in the current budget and the allocation of :6,107 from the Contingent Fund for thepurpose of drilling and developing Wells #39 #6 and -1748 and sand trap for Well �`r3.

Copies of the survey ADOPTED had been previously issued to the City Council. In line with the results of the survey, Mr. Glaves recommended the adoption of new job specifications for Engineering Assistant and Stenographer Clerk II; the abolishment of the Line Foreman classification and the adoption of Line Foreman, Heavy, and Line Foreman, Light, classifications; the abolishment of the Engineering Aide classification and the adoption of Engineering Aide I and Engineering Aide II ' classifications; and the adoption of the following classifications: Electric Meter Repairman -Inspector, General Foreman, Electric, and Stenographer Clerk III.
