Mr. Saunders further explained that when he contacted the State concerning the point discrepancy, they would not commit to making a mistake in the scoring, but Mr. Don Gerteisen, Chief of the Bureau of Local Recreation Services, had made two trips to Clermont and offered assistance at the State level when requesting the next grant, and assistance in other areas. It was further stated that the only recourse for the City would be to request an administrative hearing and there would be a 50-50 chance of winning. The State does not want to go through an administrative hearing because it would tie up 3.5 million dollars worth of prof ects state-wide. City Attorney Baird explained to the Council what an administrative hearing entailed and advised Council that it would be politically adverse to request such a hearing. After scone further discussion, it was the consensus of Council not to request the hearing. DISSTON STREET EXTENSION AND ALMOND STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS City Manager Saunders stated that he would like to bid the two projects at this time in light of the state of the economy and the prevailing lower construction prices. He also explained the problems associated with permitting the project, which would be more diff icult at a later date. It was the consensus of Council that it would be a good time to place the projects out for bid. FINANCE DIRECTOR VAN ZILE'S REPORT PENSION BOARD MEETING Finance Director Van Zile stated that he would like to hold a Pension Board Meeting at 7:00 p.m. prior to the June 26, 1990 Council Meeting.
