CITIZEN COMMENT
Mr. James Jordon, who lives at 1406 West Avenue, asked the Council
if something could be done when a heavy rain storm occurs and the
water running down the hill on Magnolia Street backs up, jumps the
curb and floods his kitchen. Mr. Jordon continued by stating that
it appeared the water retention area at the end of the street could
not handle heavy rains and did not drain effectively.
Mr. Saunders stated that he knew of the problem, but thought it had
been remedied. He stated that he would look into the problem for
Mr. Jordon to see what could be done.
ROOF BID - JENRINS AUDITORIUM
City Manager Saunders reported that the shingles in the options
were GAF Timberline shingles that look like wood with a bid of
$11,490. Hand split shake shingles like the ones now on the roof
are specified in the amount of $19,485 (Base Bid C). It was also
reported that the roof coating was called "Karnac" with a 5-7 year
warranty.
Council Member Norquist, a builder by profession, stated that he
was familiar with these items. After some discussion of the
options, it was the consensus of Council to go with the shake
shingles.

FIRE HYDRANT
City Manager Saunders stated that concern had been expressed that
there was no fire hydrant north of Highway 50 between Lake Avenue
and Fifth Street necessitating laying fire hose across Highway 50
should a fire occur. The closest hydrant is at Fifth and Broome
Streets and more than 800' of hose would have to be used in order
to reach a fire in the subject area. The City Manager explained
that to place a hydrant at the intersection of Fourth Street and
Highway 50 would require approximately 800' of 6" water main and
a crossing at Fifth and Broome Streets. The approximate cost of
the extension would be $12,000 on a change order for Wimmer
Construction.
90-183 After some further discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER
TURVILLE, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER COLE AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED
TO HAVE WINNER CONTRACTING INSTALL A FIRE HYDRANT AT FOURTH STREET
AND HIGHWAY 50 AND APPROXIMATELY 800' OF 6" WATER MAIN AT A COST
OF $12,000. THIS AMOUNT WILL BE ADDED TO THE CURRENT WINNER
CONTRACT BY A CHANGE ORDER.
PUBLIC COML-~4:NTS
