measure that to. <br /> <br />Regular City Council Meeting <br />July 14,2003 <br />Page 23 <br /> <br />Councilwoman Neeley said that these papers are for 2000-2001. She asked if <br />there are any projects of this size currently. Mayor Fendley said he thought the <br />Civic Center project was that size. City Engineer Napier advised that the Civic <br />Center project has been completed. Mayor Fendley said any projects over <br />$25,000.00. City Attorney Schenk said it is the segment that is the issue and <br />it depends on how you add the project together to get whatever total that they <br />have. <br /> <br />Mr. Napier said it depends on how you lump projects together.

Mayor Fendley <br />said there is not a contract for that. City Attorney Schenk said that he did not <br />know if that could be a different rate.
