Council Minutes of 2/4/2003 bids contract will expire 60 days from the opening date, so some action should be taken no later than February 18 so as to keep the library project on schedule. Regarding the salt contract, Mrs. Copfer noted that the city has not had any trouble getting salt from Cargill. Because of the bad winter we are experiencing, this is just a back-up plan. Also, the amount is what Morton Salt had bid originally, which is a nominally higher amount than Cargill.
