City Manager Kennedy presented an invitation from the Utah Municipal League for members of the Commission to attend their Golden Anniversary in Salt Lake City September 12th through the 14th. None of the members of the Board were able to be present, and requested the Manager to acknowledge the invitation and send their regrets. The City Manager reported that bids received on August 21, 1957 on Bid No. 57.35 for the sale of heating and cooling equipment and an accounting machine, had been checked. Mr. Kennedy recommended that the bid of General Engineering Service on items 1 through 8 in the total amount of $502.00 be accepted. City Manager Kennedy stated that A. A. Swanson's bid on Item 2, which is a hot water heater was higher than that of General Engineering Service on that particular item, but Mr. Swanson only bid on the one piece of equipment. Mr. Kennedy advised the Commission that only one bid had been received on the accounting machine, that of National Cash Register Co. for $396.50, and recommended this bid be rejected because an informal proposal had been received offering $1,000.00 for the machine. Commissioner Bunker moved that Items 1 through 8 of Bid No. 57.35 be awarded to General Engineering Service in the total amount of $502.00 and that the bid of National Cash Register Co. on Item 10 of this bid be rejected. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp and His Honor Mayor Pro Tem Whipple voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Mayor Baker. The City Manager requested that authorization be granted to issue a Service and Material Warrant to the Las Vegas City Employees Federal Credit Union in the amount of $13,986.00, said money which is deducted from the employees' salaries. Commissioner Bunker moved the Comptroller and Treasurer be authorized to prepare a warrant to the Las Vegas City Employees Federal Credit Union in the amount of $13,986.00. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp and His Honor Mayor Pro Tem Whipple voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Mayor Baker. The City Manager reported that the gross payroll for this period is $101,744.85 and the net is in the amount of $76,241.36. Mr. Kennedy stated that the General Fund Balance after payment of the payroll and service and material warrants is $929,786.89 as compared with the balance on August 15, 1957 of $890,976.85. Payments for capital outlay amount to $46,026.25, and disbursements from the Bond Fund amount to $29,126.96. The Commission considered the request of Reverend Leila Cornett for permission to use the tent on the Northeast corner of 5th and Bonanza for revival meetings until September 18th. Commissioner Sharp moved this request be approved, subject to compliance with the Building and Fire Department regulations. Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp and His Honor Mayor Pro Tem Whipple voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Mayor Baker. Mrs. Charles Catt appeared before the Commission and asked when action would be taken on the suggestion that the Traffic Division of the Police Department be given an increase in salary for "hazard pay". Planning Director Bills reported that there would be a meeting on September 10, 1957 commencing at 9:00 A.M. with the officials on the proposed Freeway and Urban Renewal Program, and requested that any of the members of the Commission who are able to, be here.
