Motion Spivey second Runge to approve minutes of June 12, 1985. Carried unanimously. Attorney Greenleaf reported that the City could give 10 days notice to Service Enterprise Corporation to complete the work on the 100,000 gallon water tower project and if work is not completed within 10 days, the City could contract with someone else to have work performed and withhold that amount of money from the final payment to Service Enterprise. Attorney reported that Engineer Snyders said the remaining site work should actually be done in September, but could give notice now, and that surrounding property owners should be made aware that work is going to be completed this way. Council consensus to direct Attorney Greenleaf to write letter to Service Enterprise Corporation giving ten (10) days notice to complete 100,000 gallon water tower contract or City will contract with another firm to complete work and withhold costs from final payment to Service Enterprise.
