The program has become more costly over the years, but the <br />city has benefited from it. However, since the projected amount needed to complete the <br />contract year would have been approximately twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars <br />above the appropriation, he felt obligated to bring it to the att~tion of the Mayor and <br />Finance Director. This has been a successful. program; and, hopefully, in the future it will <br />continue to be so. <br />2) He has received and is currently reviewing a new contract with the Regional Transit <br />Authority. <br />3) Met with Dennis Long of Malcolm Pirnie concerning problems at the sewage treatment <br />plant as related to orders by the EPA. <br />4) The newly submitted Spritegvale contract has been attached to the legislation which will <br />be on second reading as amended this evening. <br />5) The legislation authoria~g the contract for the Dancik property is on first readffig <br />tonight.
