Director of Public Works George E. Wade recommended that the request of Longley Construction Co., contractor for the installation of sewers in Schedules D-1 to D-12, for payment of $8,021.42 be approved. Mr. Wade explained that this is the 10% retention on the completed portion of this project, but that the City still retains a performance bond in the amount of $12,527.60. Commissioner Bunker moved the recommendation of the Director of Public Works be accepted and that the request of Longley Construction Company for final payment of $8,021.42 on the completed portion of Schedule D of the Sewer Improvement Program be approved and signatures on the warrant authorized. Motion seconded by Commissioner Whipple and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Commissioner Sharp. At this time Director of Public Works George E. Wade discussed with the Commission the proposed installation of sewer lines in the area south of Bonanza Road, a portion of which is owned by the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Mr. Wade advised that when the contract was let for the installation of sewers in Schedule D of the Sewer Improvement Program, it was designed to hold that portion of the job in abeyance until some future date. It was determined that a layout of the proposed development of this area should be submitted by the Union Pacific Railroad Company, but to date only a tentative plan and pencilled sketches have been received. Discussion was held and the Commission requested Mr. Wade to contact the Union Pacific Railroad Company to have them sub­mit their proposed development of this area. At the hour of 8:35 P.M. the meeting recessed. The meeting reconvened at the hour of 8:50 P.M. with all members present as of the opening session. Mr. Ben Sparks of Galland Electric Company appeared before the Board at this time to request an extension of time to move his business from 2000 E. Fremont. Mr. Sparks explained that he had made every effort to remove his business within the 60 days granted on August 17, 1955; but was having difficulty in receiving a permit to drill a well, power and telephone service. He advised the Board that his build­ing was under construction at the present time, but was delayed by lack of these services. Thereafter, Commissioner Fountain moved that Galland Electric be granted an additional 30 days, or until November 17, 1955; to move from 2000 E. Fremont.
