FEBRUARY 21, 1861 - PAGE 4
<br />It was Council's belief that under all of the circumstances that the
<br />recommendation of the consulting engineers should be followed and thereupon
<br />authorized the preparation of Ordinance No. 61-26 which was passed by said
<br />Council. Subsequently an inspection of said site and plant was made by
<br />members of Council, accompanied by the Director of Public Service, the Mayor
<br />and representatives of Floyd G. Browne & Associates, consulting engineers.
<br />The Council, after examination of the premises and the discussions had
<br />with the administrative officials of the City and the consulting engineers,
<br />deem it for the best interests of the City to adopt the recommendation made
<br />by the consulting engineers and recommend to the Director of Public Service
<br />that he reconsider the position .taken and that he request Floyd G. Browne
<br />and Associates to restore and retain the services of said inspector for the
<br />recommended time expiring April 1, 1861. In the opinion of Council such
<br />inspection is necessary and in view of the amount of unfinished work and the
<br />cost of the overal contract, that the dismissal of the inspector involved,
<br />is not in the best interest of the City and taxpayers. Such dismissal may
<br />also involve future contractual relations and liabilities of all parties
<br />concerned in the event said plant and system does not perform in accordance
<br />with the rigid specifications heretofore established for performance."
