Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, September 21, 1955 to November 20, 1957, lvc000010-568

the City. Mr. Kennedy pointed out that there had been one or two partial payments made but there was still a balance of approximately $3,600.00, which the present owners of Palm Mortuary claimed was the responsibility of the previous owners of Palm Mortuary. After some discussion it was decided that immediate action should be taken to collect the monies owing from Palm Mortuary and that the matter should be referred to the City Attorney. Mr. Kennedy presented a letter from Planning Director Franklin Bills to the effect that the House and Home Finance Agency wanted him to act as Co-ordinator of Urban Renewal, for which they will pay him $150.00 per month during the time the Urban Renewal Program is in progress. Mr. Kennedy pointed out that this would last only during the Urban Redevelopment Program and the $150.00 per month would be paid out of Urban Redevelopment monies made available by the Federal Government and recommended that Mr. Bills be authorized to accept the appointment as Co-ordinator of Urban Redevelopment, effective September 1, 1957. At this point the City Attorney advised that it should be made clear that Mr. Bills would be required to perform duties outside of his regular duties. The Board of Commissioners directed that the City Attorney prepare a motion approving the above, said motion to be presented at the next regular meeting of the Board. Mr. Kennedy presented the request of Headman, Ferguson and Carollo, Consulting Engineers on the New Sewage Treatment Plant, for final payment in the amount of $29,915.16 for supervision of construction of the Sewage Treatment Plant representing 90 percent (90%) of their fee for supervision. The additional ten percent (10%), or $3,323.91 will be due when the Contractor has completed his work at the sewage plant. This is based on the fact that the plant is 97% complete and they feel they should not be penalized for the plants not being com­plete by reason of the inability of Lembke, Clough & King to have placed filter rock according to original schedule. It was pointed out that now it would probably be two or three months before the job will be finished and that Headman, Ferguson and Carollo have no intention of billing the City any additional money for supervision during the period of the extension of contract granted to Lembke, Clough & King. Mayor Baker suggested there be something in writing to relieve the City of payment for supervision by Headman, Ferguson and Carollo during the period of extension granted to Lembke, Clough & King. Mr. Kennedy then suggested, and the Board concurred, that Mr. Carollo and the City Attorney get together to draft a letter or agreement regarding the above to the satisfaction of the City Attorney. There being no further business to come before the Board at this time, Commissioner Fountain moved that the meeting be adjourned at the hour of 5:25 P.M. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bunker and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none.
