<br />During a discussion regarding t.o the eontractor's bonds, Mr. Leonard asked
<br />for a ruling from the Law Director as to whether t.he city could step in and
<br />use any money put up by t.he contractor where the contractor had a eontract
<br />with the home owner only, and the City was not a party to the contract,
<br />Mr. Kitchen advised that the Gity cannot enter into any private contract with
<br />the home owner and the contraetor. To force a contractor to conform to our
<br />ordinances is pErmissible, and our ordinance protects the home owner.
