There are so few firms who do this type of rebuilding,
it was recommended that Council authorize the rebuilding
of the Climax engine by Wilson Engine & Equipment Co.,
in the amount of $9,572.69, and to waive bidding pro-
cedures under the Municipal Code, finding that it is
impractical, useless, and uneconomical to follow such
procedures and that public welfare would be promoted by
dispensing with same.

dation of the Director of Public Works.
City Administrator Dangleis advised Council Johnny Johnson, Golf Course
owner of Azusa Greens Golf Course, inquired if City is
still interested in purchase of the golf course. It was
his suggestion, if Council is interested, the proper
action would be to direct the City Administrator, City
Attorney and Finance Officer to make contact with owner
of the golf course and jointly arrange for an independent
appraisal.
It was the consensus of Council that before securing an
independent appraisal, City Administrator Dangleis should
secure a preliminary report informally quoting owners
