Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, September 21, 1955 to November 20, 1957, lvc000010-524

At this time City Manager Kennedy reported, to the Commission on South "A" Street paving between Main and Charleston Boulevard. He stated that the City has com­pleted its work on sub-base and the work has been completed on the valley gutter. The plans were turned over to Frank Scott for the paving, to obtain a bid from Whiting Brothers to put in the asphalt. Whiting Brothers bid amounted to $3,500.00. Whiting Brothers stated at this time that they bid on 3900 square yards, which is about one-half the amount of asphalt it will take. It will cost approximately $3,000.00 above that to finish the street. The monies turned in by the property owners through Mr. Frank Scott will actually amount, upon completion of the work, to $7,890.00. Actual cost will be $11,182.00 to complete the work. This is information to the Commission and a meeting will be held with the parties concerned to see what can be worked out. Mr. Kennedy further advised that this is not a request at this time to authorize payment of the difference. Commissioner Sharp announced that he would like to request permission on behalf of the Exchange Club to develop the City's piece of property located at 13th and Brid­ger into a children's playground. Commissioner Sharp stated that this organiza­tion would like to develop this park in line with the recommendation of the Recrea­tion Department, and are willing to install a chain-link fence, a retaining wall, develop the site and put in playground equipment at no cost to the City with the exception of leveling the lot.
