Rage 51, paragraph 3 to read: `
Requested by Councilman Johnson the following be MOTION TO
recorded as submitted: REFER BILLS
Motion by Councilman Johnson 'I move that the demands,", TO ATTORNEY
submitted by the City'Engineer; Mr. Brooks, be disallowed
and that the same be referred to the City Attorney,""
Statement by Councilman Johnson in,support of above motion:-
On October 16,1953 the "City Engineer reported on reservoir
submitting tentative plans for construction and giving ele-.-
vations, etc. Engineer suggested obtaining estimated_ costs
of two proposed sites. Suggestion approved by Mayor•Jackson."
(Quotation from Council minutes Oct.16,1953 Page 5, Item 2)_,
Later, same date:""Engineer asked -wishes of Council regarding
reservoir $nd sewer plant. Mayor Jackson stated "present -reser- ,
voir action to be held up." (Quotation from Council minutes
Oct.,16,1953 Page 8, Item 2,"as corrected Oct. -26,1953.)
Thus, itis evident that the completion of plans and writing of
specifications was not authorized by the Council and submission
of bill for $5,003.47;. representing,6% of the Engirieer!s,
estimated' cost of the proposed -reservoir is unjustified.
I therefore disapprove all bills covering proposed construction
submittted,by the City Engineer•.
