Motion made by Councilman Phillips, seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried on roll call vote as follows that the reading of the full body of Ordinance No. 1087 be waived: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips, Camphouse NOES: None ABSENT: None Councilman Phillips further moved that Ordinance No. 1087 be introduced. Motion seconded by Councilman Balser and carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips, Camphouse NOES: None ABSENT: None Mayor Camphouse declared the hearing reopened on the application of Dr. Emil R. Ritter and others for a zone reclassification from Zone R-l to Zones C-3 and D (Architectural OVerlay) of property located at 623 West Duarte Road (Planning Commission Resolution No. 367 recommending reclassification) and requested the City Clerk to read a communication she had received. The City Clerk thereupon read said communication from the applicants, which stated in substance that the original application had requested a C-3 reclassification in view of the possible need for a prescription I pharmacy; however, that their purpose could be equally served by having the property zoned C-O with a variance for a possible pharmacy, and requested that the original zoning request be amended to an application for 623 West Duarte Road to be zoned C-O with a variance for a pharmacy. , Mayor Camphouse then inquired if anyone in the audience desired to address the Council either in favor of or in opposition to the requested zone reclassification. Councilman Phillips explained that this matter had been original+y set for hearing May 3, 1960, at which time he had been absent, and the vote had been two to one against the recommendation of the Planning Commission, with one abstention; that due to this vote the matter had been placed on pending agenda and at the Council meeting of May 17, 1960 he had requested the matter be taken off pending agenda, the hearing reopened and placed on agenda for this meeting. That as the matter now stands the applicants 2. 6- 8- 60 I I (Hearing - Ritter) j, ..PoOh are requesting a higher level zone to permit the construction of a medical building with a variance for a possible pharmacy. A general discussion ensued. Councilman Balser stated in part that at the May 3rd meeting he had voted in favor of granting the requested zone reclassification for the reason that in his opinion the area in question was suitable for business; that at this time he would be in favor of a more restrictive zone but that with regard to the requested variance for a possible pharmacy, he wished to ask the applicant if he would be willing to delete the pharmacy from his request. Dr. Charles Shore, 523 Santa Rosa Road, addressed the Council, stating that he and his associates are interested in a pharmacy at the stated location for the convenience of the patients of the building; that it is proposed to be a prescription pharmacy with no sale of magazines or sundries; however, that if the Council did not favor a pharmacy they would be agreeable to eliminating it from their plans. Councilman Reibold stated in part that in his opinion the present trend seemed to be toward prescription pharmacies in medical buildings; that such pharmacies are operated by professional people and are an integral part of that type of operation, and that the City's ordinance should be amended to permit such pharmacies with restrictions as to signs and sale of things other than medicinal prescriptions. Councilman Phillips commented that in the past variances for prescription pharmacies had been granted with certain restrictions imposed as to the location of the pharmacy, the type, size and number of signs, advertising, etc. Mr. Wesley Davies, General Manager of Rancho Santa Anita, addressed the Council, stating in part that he disagreed with Councilman Reibold's statement as to a pharmacy being an integral part of a medical building, adding that this could lead to commissaries in apartment buildings, and that in his opinion retail stores in medical buildings cannot compete with retail stores in C-2 zones. To Councilman Reibold's question as to whether he was opposed to the granting of a c-o zone Mr. Davies replied that he was opposed to the granting of any concession whereby merchandise is retailed within a C-O or R-l or R-2 zone. There being no one else desiring to be heard, Councilman Balser moved that the hearing be closed. Motion seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried unanimously. Councilman Butterworth then moved that Council grant the application of Dr. Emil R. Ritter and others for a zone reclassification of property located at 623 West Duarte Road from Zone R-l to Zone C-O, and that their request for a zone variance for a pharmacy, as contained in their letter as read by the City Clerk at this hearing, at said address be denied.

Whereupon the City Manager read such reports (on file in office of the City Clerk) adding that Arcadia's fees as shown by the survey are approximately 40% lower than those charged for similar permits in the cities listed, and that it is his recommendation that an increase in fees is necessary if the Building Department is to operate on a paying basis. I The City Attorney then presented for the first time, explained the content and read the title of Ordinance No. 1083 entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING BY REFERENCE A PRIMARY CODE ENTITLED 'UNIFORM ELECTRICAL CODE (1959 EDITION)', CREATING THE OFFICE OF CHIEF ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR, PRESCRIBING HIS DUTIES AND AUTHORITY, PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE OF ELECTRICAL PERMITS AND FOR INSPECTIONS AND FIXING THE FEES THEREFOR; REGULATING THE INSTALLATION, ARRANGEMENT, ALTERATION, REPAIR, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF ELECTRIC WIRING, ELECTRIC FIXTURES AND OTHER ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT AND PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR VIOLATION OF THE SAME; ADOPTING BY REFERENCE A SECONDARY CODE REFERRED TO IN SAID PRIMARY CODE; AND REPEALING ORDINANCES NO. 709 AND NO. 734 OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA." 4. 6-8-60 I I (Ordinance No. 1083) ORDINANCE No. 1084 , (Introduced) ORDINANCE No. 1085 (Introduced - Moriarty) t",1'JJ 500y Motion by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried on roll call vote as follows that the reading of the full body of Ordinance No. 1083 be waived: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips, Camphouse NOES: None ABSENT: None Councilman Reibold further moved that ordinance No. 1083 be introduced.

Said letter also referred to photographs attached thereto demonstrating a building which, if transplanted to the applicant's property, would constitute an asset to the area; also pictures of property in the adjoin- ing area and a map of the proposed structure. Mayor camphouse then stated that unless Council desired to change its previous determination a motion to introduce the subject ordinance would be in order. 5. 6-8-60 3'ooq (Ordinance No. 1085) RESOLUTION No.. 3260 (Caler Property) ~\.o Jv \0. I) \INDEXED RESOLUTION '07 !IllDEXED Whereupon Councilman Phillips moved that Ordinance No. 1085 be introduced. Councilman Balser seconded the motion and it was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips, Camphouse NOES: None ABSENT: None The City Attorney presented, explained the content and read the title of Resolution No. 3260, entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF TIlE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DENYING A REQUESTED ZONE RECLASSIFICATION FROM ZONE R-3 TO ZONE C-3 OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF DUARTE ROAD FROM 745 TO ,917 WEST DUARTE ROAD IN SAID CITY." I The City Attorney read the findings stated in the resolution, to wit: That hearings on this matter were commenced at approximately the same time as proceedings on Annexation No. 17 and that the subject property parallels the annexed property; that although 16 owners of property signed the petition and 20 property owners within a 300 foot radius signed as approving the requested zone change there were many others who appeared at the hearings and spoke against the change of zone to commercial uses. He continued that the property immediately east of subject property has h~d commercial zoning since 1952 and is still undeveloped; that property in the Golden West area that has been zoned for commercial uses under County regulations is developed only with small businesses; that the present commercial uses are carried on in small buildings, some of them old, and none of them complying with the No. 1 Fire Zone restrictions; that it does not appear that public necessity and convenience require the requested change of zone; that subject property comprises a narrow shoestring strip not suitable for desirable commercial uses; that the rezoning of property in the same vicinity on the south side of Duarte Road for R-3 uses is presently under way and the granting of the requested zone change would not follow good zoning practice nor be for the general welfare and would be detrimental to the residential properties on the south side of Duarte Road presently being rezoned for multiple-family uses. That present development and future planned developments to R-3 uses of Duarte Road frontages in the immediate vicinity of subject property indicate clearly that subject property is both suitable, useable and desirable for R-3 purposes.

The City Attorney added that this resolution was drawn upon instructions of the Council and in accordance with their determination and motion at the regular adjourned meeting of May 31, 1960. Mayor Camphouse announced that the subject matter was not a hearing, inasmuch as the hearing had been held on May 17, 1960, and that discussions relative to the matter would be limited to the terms and conditions upon which a permit might be granted. , , ::, "L' Mr. Wesley Davies, General Manager of Rancho Santa Anita, addressed the Council and requested the City Attorney to read in its entirety said Resolution No. 3264, to which request Councilman Phillips stated that such a procedure is possible, but is a matter of determination by the Council. To Councilman Butterworth's inquiry as to whether there was not some misunderstanding regarding Mayor Camphouse's statement that discussion on the resolution. would be limited, he was advised by Mayor Camphouse that such procedure had been determined at the adjourned regular meeting of May 31, 1960. The City Attorney commented that he was of the opinion that although this is not a hearing at which evidence would be received, it would be proper to hear arguments on the adoption of the resolution itself as well as on the conditions stated therein. At Mayor Camphouse's request the City Attorney then read in its entirety Resolution No. 3264. _ t: The City Clerk then read in its entirety a communication from Dr. R. H. Hutchinson, 724 Fairview Avenue, Arcadia, which stated in substance that Council is to be commended for their first action in rejecting the license for the Shumaker bowling alley. (Communication on file in office of the City Clerk). : , The following persons addressed the Council: Mr. Richard W. Callaway, 894 Fallen Leaf Road, Arcadia, read a prepazed statement which in substance stated that if Council adopts the above resolution it will, in his opinion, be discriminatory in that they previously denied his request for a business permit to operate a bowling alley adjacent to the El Rancho shopping center. Said statement ~lso mentioned various points in Resolution No. 3261 with which he disagreed and requested that Council substitute what in his opinion would be consistency for discrimination. (Statement on file in office of the City Clerk). Mr. Lawrence E. Borquin, owner of property at 645 Fairview Avenue, requested the Council to give the matter further consideration before adopting said Resolution No. 3264. 7. 6-8-60 501/ , - (Resolution No. 3264) !INDEXED ;,{ Mr. J. R. Phares, 1019 Panorama Drive, read a communication from Dr. J. Davis Barnard of the Arcadia Presbyterian Church, written to clarify his previous communication regarding the subject matter, stating in part that Dr. Barnard felt this enterprise would be injurious to the community; also that it is presumptious in his opinion for work to progress on this property before the issue is finally settled by the Counc i 1. Mr. Leland L. Dills, 1055 Panorama Drive, stated in part that he is the President of the Citrus Belt Bowling Proprietors Association and also proprietor of a 32-lane bowling alley in Rialto, said building I containing 37,000 square feet, situated on five acres and having 387 _ parking stalls. He continued in part, that he did not believe the - proposed location on Baldwin Avenue has sufficient parking area excludi the Market parking area; that during the racing season it will be almos impossible to move 120 cars in that area around 6:00 P.M. He also mentioned that the American Machine and Foundary Company and the Brunswick Co. were the promo tors respectively of the bowling alley at the El Rancho location and the subject Baldwin Avenue location; that this was a matter of speculation with said promotors and the location first receiving permission would be the only location backed by the respective promoters as, in his opinion, they would not back two bowling alleys in such close proximity. Mr. Dills also mentioned a communication from Mr. Cole of Brunswick to the Council explaining the situation. He concluded by stating in substance that in his opinion Council should make the same determination in both instances one way or another. Mr. Wesley Davies stated in substance that in his opinion the reasons given for denying the application of the El Rancho Bowling Alley were applicable in this instance. To Councilman Phillip's inquiry as to the receiver of the alleged communication from a Mr. Cole or from a Mr. Bryant, he was advised by the City Manager, City Clerk and the Planning Secretary that no such letter had been received in their respective offices. In the general discussion that ensued, Councilman Phillips commented in substance that he had not been present at the hearing on the El Rancho Bowling Alley matter; that he had voted against the Shumaker application on May 17, 1960 and subsequently changed his vote when the City Attorney advised that there were insufficient findings upon which to base Council's denial. He added that at that time he had been concerned with the possibility of speculation, as referred to by Mr. Dill, and had insisted, as a condition of changing his vote, that certain restrictions be incorporated in the resolution, such as time to file the plot plan and the commencement of work after the plan was approved, and that he had heard nothing at this meeting to convince him that his last decision was wrong. Councilman Butterworth stated in part that he had voted yes on both I applications after considering the economic situation, whereby if the bowling alley was not permitted to operate in Arcadia it could do so 0 the outskirts, thus causing the City to lose both the receipt of revenu and the control of the enterprise as to hours of operation, method of operation, severance of the cocktail bar from the concourse and the prohibition of the sale of liquor on the concourse. He added that personally he could not distinguish between the two applications; that the sale of liquor is not within the jurisdiction of the Cancil; that in his opinion, to say the bowling alleys were not commensurate with their neighborhoods is to pervert the City's license ordinance into a zoning statute, and that the statement that the City has enough bowling alleys is an interference with private enterprise. He continued that he did not know'what could be done about the El Rancho Bowling Alley application as it had already been denied by resolution. That with regard to the subject matter, he felt that Council is compelled to grant this applicant a permit for a business license to operate a bowling alley. 8. 6-8-60 I I J(\ )1 \v y J 1. lNDEXED 2. 3.

Shumaker for a zone variance to allow a bowling alley to encroach into the PR-3 Zone at 1020-30 South Baldwin Avenue. The City Attorney pointed out that the applicants had requested their I application be withdrawn but that the City's ordinance makes no provision for the withdrawal of an application; that after 'the Planning Commission had held a hearing on the matter and while the matter was under advisement the applicants had requested the withdrawal of their application and that the resolution of the Planning Commission was merely to terminate the proceedings, deny the application without prejudice to the consideration of any future applications which might be made. Whereupon Councilman Phillips moved that Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and deny without prejudice the application of John W. Hunter and G. M. Shumaker for a zone variance to allow a bowling alley to encroach into the PR-3 Zone at 1020-30 South Baldwin Avenue, and that the City Attorney be instructed to draw the proper resolution in accordance therewith. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. Planning Commission Resolution No. 376, recommending the granting of the application of William A. Behrens for a zone variance to permit the storage of new automobiles at 151 Alta Street in Zone PR-3. Councilman Balser commented that in his opinion this is actually a business. That protests had been received by the Planning Commission from residents in the area against the granting of the zone variance in that they did not want a business pattern to be started in this area. The City Manager advised that other properties in the general vicinity are used for parking of automobiles to meet business needs and that applicant needs parking space for his own automobiles pending their sale. That certain restrictions will apply in this matter, among them being that an ornamental concrete block wall of from four to six feet in height is to be constructed around the lot except for the south five feet and abutting parkway on Alta Street which shall be landscaped and maintained. Councilman Phillips stated that in his opinion this is consistent with good planning practice and the present and prospective development of the neighborhood in which the property is located, and that he move that Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and grant the application of William A, Behrens for a zone variance to permit the storage of new automobiles at 151 Alta Street in Zone PR-3.

Motion seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried unanimously. The Director of Public Works advised that in the design and acce~tance of Tract No. 25368, located on Ninth Avenue, a 10 foot wide drainage easement was dedicated to the City to provide for a drain line from the end of the street into the Santa Anita Wash. That this 10 foot easement was located six feet on the south side of a full size lot and four feet on a partial lot remaining along the south boundary of the tract. That the six foot easement has made it difficult to locate the garage on the lot and arrangements have been made to move the drain pipe further south.

Whereupon Councilman Balser moved that the City Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a quit claim deed to release four feet . of the present easement in this matter, Councilman Phillips seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. The City Manager advised that in June, 1958 Ordinance No. 1015 was adopted providing that, if and when curb and gutter was constructed on Fifth Avenue, the property on the west side of Fifth Avenue between Huntington Drive and the Pacific Electric Railroad right of way would be placed in Zones C-M and D. That at that time it was contemplated the curb and gutter would be constructed by the property owners. That now a project is being prepared by the City of Monrovia which will provide the required curb and gutter. 'j That the City at this time has an application from D. B. Milliken Company to add an office addition to the front of their building at 131 N. Fifth Avenue and a permit cannot be issued until the zoning is actually effective, and that it is the recommendation of the Director of Public Works that because the curb and gutter will be constructed with the improvement of Fifth Avenue that an ordinance be adopted now actually changing the zone. Also that a resolution setting up the requirements of Zone D be adopted. The City Attorney stated that he had prepared an ordinance in this connection. Whereupon he presented, explained the content and read the title of Ordinance No. 1086, entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, RECLASSIFYING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY ON THE WEST SIDE OF NORTH FIFTH AVENUE TO ZONES C-M AND D (ARCHITECTURAL OVERLAY) ."

Councilman Butterworth seconded the motion. A general discussion ensued. Mayor Camphouse stated in part that in his opinion this action would not solve the problem of excessive speed on Foothill Boulevard; that although this matter had been discussed with the State many times no action has been taken in this regard. The Director of Public Works advised that he and the Chief of Police spent a great deal of time on this problem and that in his opinion, concurred in by the Chief of Police, the aforesaid left turn lanes would at least eliminate rear end collisions. ~dl It was the consensus of the Council that the traffic flow pattern on Foothill is so fast that a left hand turn can only be made on the yellow light and that it might be suggested to the State that a 3-way control system be installed. A roll call vote was then taken as follows: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips NOES: Mayor camphouse ABSENT: None " Councilman Balser requested that the State be contacted relative to a left hand turn pocket at Rancho Road and requested the City Manager to discuss the matter with the Chief of Police and the Director of Public Works. He also stated that the Police Department has records of the traffic flow on Foothill Blvd. and that this matter should again be activated, and suggested that the matter be placed on agenda. Motion by Councilman Phillips, seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried unanimously that Council approve the recommendation of the City Manager and the Director of Public Works and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement, in form approved by the City Attorney, covering the routine maintenance of 16 street lights located on Las Tunas Drive and Baldwin Avenue, between Live Oak Avenue and Palm Drive, which street lights were included within the territory acquired by the City in Annexation No. 17-A (Baldwin Avenue); said service to cost the City approximately $20.00 per month; and that the sum of $240.00 be provided in Account No. 433-43 of the 1960-61 budget. Mayor camphouse suggested that the matter of the report on lot split procedure be taken under advisement. Whereupon Councilman Reibold moved that it be taken under advisement for two weeks. Councilman Balser seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. Motion by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Phillips and I carried on roll call vote as follows that Council approve the recommen- dation of the City Manager and that he be and is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the City of Arcadia an agreement between the City and the Department of Finance of the State of California, in form approved by the City Attorney; said agreement to provide for the Depart- ment of Finance to estimate the increase in population of the City as provided for in Section 194.2 of the Streets and Highways Code: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips, Camphouse NOES: None ABSENT: None The City Manager read a communication dated June 8, 1960 from the Downtown Arcadia Business Association, requesting permission to use the 12. 6-8-60 ,-< . .

Said communication also stated that the show will write a $300,000 liability and $5,000 property damage policy. A general discussion ensued. Mr. John W. Bell, Chairman of the Circus Promotion Committee, summarized the conduct of the show, stating in part that it will attract people from surrounding communities who will patronize the stores in Arcadia; that said show had been held in Monrovia for the past three years and that Monrovia had waived the license fee. The City Attorney commented that since this show will be conducted by a privately owned and operated concern, under Ordinance No. 823, they would not be entitled to a waiver of the license fee. He also suggested that the matter be discussed with the Board of Directors of the Vehicle Parking District in question. Councilman Butterworth stated in part that in his opinion the amount of the liability insurance mentioned is inadequate; that liability insurance at the upper level is inexpensive. Councilman Phillips commented that he could see little difference between this circus and the request of the Rotary Club to sponsor a rodeo, which request had been denied. He added that the circus held at Hinsha~s', was on private property, much smaller in scope, did not involve any acts as described in the subject circus; also that it was a profit ~king venture in connection with demonstration of their own wares. Councilman Reibold expressed a doubt as to the sufficiency of parking facilities for the patrons of the circus since the circus would be making use of the parking lots, It was also pointed out that the employees of the circus who lived in trailers must park such trailers in trailer camps outside the City of Arcadia. Councilman Butterworth then moved that the matter be referred to the Staff for investigation and recommendation as expediently as possible and that in the interim the matter be cleared with the Board of Directors of the Parking District in question.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION LIBRARY (Carpeting) "\~{ r ~ ~^' ~ ~= Mr. H. C. 'TimUlty. owner of Rounds Floor Coverings, addressed the Council, regarding the award of a carpeting contract for the new City Library, for which his company had tendered a bid. He stated in part, that Rounds' bid was $23,812.34 for 1990 square yards, including state and local sales tax, on Lee's carpeting; that Angelus Floor Covering of Los Angeles had bid $23,700.00 for 2000 square yards of Bigelow, which bid had not stated that it included state and local sales tax. That although Bigelow carpeting f was specified, and he could have bid on it, being an authorized I distributor of all the brands of carpet which fit the bi9 sPecificatio he had quoted Lee's Bondsett because it had a slightly higher pile ' and more rows to the inch than Bigelow Gropoint. "J He also mentioned that acceptance of Rounds' bid would result in a sales tax refund to the City of approximately $206.96 which would make their bid lower than that of Angelus Floor Covering. A general discussion ensued. Mr. Tumilty was advised that there was no argument as to the relative quality of the carpeting bid upon by the two low bidders; however, that Bigelow carpeting was specified as the criteria and that Angelus had bid on it whereas Rounds' bid on another make; that both the Architect and the Librarian had stated that all things being equal, they preferred the Bigelow carpeting because of the color. 14. 6-8-60 I . , I (Carpeting) f'7W f:/ (A'^ aNDEXED (Mr. DO' n. Johnson) (" 7 ~ (. 5o/Y That with reference to Hr. Timulty's statement,.with,:regard' to 'state and local sales 'tax, according to the bid specifications all prices were f,'o.b. Arcadia Public Library installed in place and that it was assumed that sales tax was included in the bid price unless the bidder. specifically stated the price to be exclusive of sales tax in a stated amount. That with reference to Mr. Tirnulty's contention that his bid would actually be lower than the Angelus bid for the reason that the City would get the sales tax rebate on Rounds, it was explained that Arcadia does not get the full one cent rebate as the State Board charges for ,the collection and accounting of local sales tax, and that an indirect benefit is not properly considered in determining a low bidder, although it might be a factor in choosing between identical low bids. To Mr. Timulty's statement that he had written a letter to the City Manager on March 22, 1960 covering the City on three different types of carpeting, he was advised that said letter had not been included by Rounds as part of the bid, nor had he specified in his bid that he would furnish either one of the three types of carpeting, but had specifically bid on Lee's carpeting. Mr. Timulty also mentioned that he had been advised that had the purchase of furnishings for the library been handled through the City's Purchasing Department a savings of ,7% could have been effected. He was advised that the purchasing of furnishings for the library was part of the contract with the Architect and therefore could not be purchased through the Purchasing Department. It being the consensus of the Council that it would be inequitable at this time to change the award of the bid on the carpeting, because of the various reasons given, CounCilman Phillips moved that further discussion on the matter cease. Councilman Reibold seconded the matter and it was carried on roll call vote as follows: ') AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, Reibold, Phillips, Camphouse r NOES: None ABSENT: None Mr. D. H. Johnson, 250 W. Camino Real, requested an explanation of the remark made earlier that purchasing of furniture and fixtures through some other means could have effected a savings of 7% to the City. The City Manager explained that it had been the consensus of those involved in the negotiation of the contract with the architect for the library that the choice of furnishings would have a major effect on the appearance of the library and therefore the responsibility of drawing specifications for such furnishings would be his and the choice thereof under his jurisdiction. ll, 1.l' BIDS The Director of Public Works advised that the Engineering Department (Imprb~emeht had computed the bids received, opened and read earlier that evening, Woodruff"Wi'.y,)1 relative to the improvement of Woodruff Way by way of sewer instal- !'y1l/'; ~ lation, a~d that. it was hi~ reconnnendation that the award be made to , INDEXED the low b1dder C1no, Inc. ~n the amount of $3402.20.
