COMMUNICATIONS None. Dennis lambert 25057 Carey Lane Mr. Lambert asked for an additional five minutes, however, he was granted an additional two minutes. Mr. Lambert stated that he was in the park off of Cedar Point Hill, and noticed two people talking at the bottom of the hill. One was a contractor and the other was a representative for the County, who were discussing the bridge. He said he relayed his interactions with Council and the Administration to the two individuals. Mr. Lambert reported that the contractor said he does not have a contract to finish the bridge, he has a contract to replace the top of the bridge and the substructure. Mr. Lambert relayed that the contractor said if he does the top and not the bottom it will eventually collapse. Per Mr. Lambert reported that the woman from the County said it was the County's "problem", that they did not have the money to replace that. Mr. Lambert provided Council and the Mayor with his thoughts on how much he thinks the repair would actually cost. Mr. Lambert advised Council that he spoke with the contractor and County representative on what kind of bridge he thinks should be built, and continued to discussed different bridges in the area. He said the contractor and County representative agreed but the County representative stated that the County cannot do that because of a Federal Historical Restriction on changing any way that the bridge was originally built. Mr. Lambert discussed the 1933 Relief Act and the WPA. He thinks the law department has a good case to go into Federal Court to argue the necessity to waive the restriction.
