sel. Motion seconded by Alderman Lenz and unanimously carried.
Bond Consultant Bill Fahey reported that both bonds would be non-
bank qualified and that the buyers would be institutions. Fol-
lowing discussion, Attorney Anderson recommended to amend the mo-
tion to delete sections two and three and rename the headings as
appropriate and recess the meeting but not adjourn so that any
other missed items could be adddressed.
Alderman Mlinar amended the motion to reflect the City Attorney's
concern with the contract for removal of sections two and three.
Motion seconded by Alderman Lenz and unanimously carried.
The City Attorney made reference to the environmental issues re-
garding the downtown development of the Shopko site. Three firms
had bid on the asbestos testing, and the low bidder was S.T.S.
Therefore, it was his recommendation to award the contract to
S.T.S. and authorize the City Attorney to have the company come
out to Hutchinson for a test of the area covered for development
(blocks 43, 44, 48, & 49). The Phase I testing would determine
the need for Phase II.
Following discussion, Alderman Mlinar moved to approve Phase I to
S.T.S. for the amount of approximately $3,500 for the four blocks
of 43, 44, 48 and 49. Motion seconded by Alderman Erickson and
unanimously carried.
Alderman Mlinar moved to recess at 6:20 P.M. and continue the
meeting. Motion seconded by Alderman Lenz and unanimously car-
ried.
