Regular City Council Meeting <br />July 14,2003 <br />Page 9 <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2003-122, authorizing the sale of a 7.104 acre tract of Lake <br />Crook property; which has been declared surplus by Resolution No. 91-108, to <br />Mr. David R. Robinson in the amount of $750.00 was presented. A motion <br />was made by Mayor Pro Tem McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Weekly, for <br />approval of the resolution. The motion carried 6 ayes, 0 nays. <br /> <br />Mayor Fendley announced that the next item on the agenda was discussion and <br />possible action on the City's current policy regarding projects constructed on <br />the basis of work by the day, including direction to staff regarding same. <br />Mayor Fendley said he asked that this be placed on the agenda and it is <br />primarily work that is being done in the water and sewer development and, <br />looking at city policy, there may be things that the Council has addressed <br />before. He said that the city bids out anything more than $25,000.00 with <br />exceptions, one of those exceptions being day work. Mayor Fendley stated that <br />the statutes talk about things that are emergency issues or danger to life and <br />health. Mayor Fendley said his main concern is the cost in the multi hundreds <br />of thousand of dollars on some of the individual projects and the city is doing <br />some of those on day work now. The staff feels that maybe that is saving <br />money, but as a Council, they need to address this issue so they will feel <br />comfortable with that, or they don't feel comfortable with that and they may <br />want to direct city staff to do it differently. Mayor Fendley advised that he has <br />asked staff to make comments and there are some people in the audience that <br />would like to comment and then Council Members can make recommendations. <br /> <br />Shawn Napier, City Engineer, explained that the legal sheets he passed <br />contained a list of all projects that had been bid since 1998. The small sheet <br />of paper shows contract price by year. Mr. Napier explained that these are the <br />totals for projects that have been bid for each year. He said that in 1998 there <br />was $523,298.17 expended, which is a total for six contracts. He said there <br />were six contracts in 1998 for a total of $523,298.17.
