I would appreciate it if City Council would carry the matter over in accordance with our agreement." Motion of Mr~ Early and seconded by Mr. Holley, to concur in Mr. Moody's request. Substitute motion of Mr. Barnes and seconded by Mr. Elliott, to be deferred to April 22, 1975, was adopted by 5-1 (Holley) vote. The following recommendations by the City Manager were presented: 75-120 - "The attached ordinance is submitted for your consideration and authorization for the appropriation of $101,000 in the Capital Improvement Fund. The 1974-75 Work Program previously adopted by resolution allocated $50,000 under Urban Transportation for emergency projects in the areas of streets and highways, and drainage. Also, under the category of repairs to public buildings there was a total of $55,000 allocated of which $4,000 was previously appropriated under Unfinished Business for an oil storage building at the City Garage. The new amount remaining from these two cate- gories is $101,000. In order to facilitate the purchase of construction materials and eliminate the necessity for the repetitive appropriations in small amounts, it is recommended that the balance in these two categories be appropriated and any monies not already committed can be authorized through the award process on low bids. The following is a list of items that were allocated in the 197435 Capital Work Plan with the addition of several items previously committed by the Council to be spent from these categories: URBAN TRANSPORTATION $50,000 West Norfolk Bridge Engineering Survey Construction of barriers and lights West Norfolk Bridge Improvements for right turn lane at the intersection of High Street West and Cedar Lane $15,000 8,000 7,500 TOTAL $30,500 PUBLIC BUILDINGS - $51,000 Victory Blvd. Fire Station Masonry Work Repairs to Municipal Building Elevator and Restrooms Refrigerator Unit- City Jail $ 8,000 25,000 2,500 TOTAL $35,500 TOTAL OF ABOVE PROJECTS $66,000 The balance of the funds in the above categories will be utilized for emergency type repairs or improvements as they occur; however, as pointed out to you earlier the award of the low bid for these projects will still be handled in the normal manner.
