Administrative Brief
March 17, 1978
To:
All City Commissioners
From:
N. D. Olson, City Manager
Monday, March 20, 1978, Commission Meeting
Subject:
G-l: It is ironic that we should receive refunding proposals from two firms
within a week of each other. I am also enclosing Larry McKown's proposal
although he did not request being on the agenda. Larry McKown has been
visiting with Don Harrison and I believe, Larry Bengtson on this subject
for some time. It is a very complicated procedure and appears that these
two proposals have approached the subject in a different manner. I assume
you will want more in-depth presentations before reaching any decision on the
matter.
H-l :,
My memo to Jolley addresses the first two subjects he relates to in his
memo. Tom Runyon's letter addresses the third subject, being the baseball
diamond that will replace the Blue Jay Diamond. My report Monday will
relate only to money necessary to relight this diamond and fence it in
accordance to Babe Ruth standards and the baseball committee's desires.
We are obtaining proposals for doing this work and will proably run in the
neighborhood of $30,000.00. Instructions to proceed with this project
with the monies from the Revenue Sharing allocation would be in keeping
with the Bicentennial Building promotion literature---that local tax
dollars will not be used to relocate this facility. We will also be in
a position to start the work as soon as all the proposals are submitted
to us. Hopefully that means right away.
