It was further recommended that the per­formance bond on this project not be released for a period of one year. City Attorney Cannon advised the Commission that legally the City could retain the performance bond. He stated that the contract does provide a guaranty period conditioned on faithful performance during the period of guarantee, which would remain in force and effect during the full guarantee period for one year; with the exception of the roof construc­tion which guarantee period is two years. Mr. Cannon further advised that the Contractor could file a bond of a lesser amount if he so desired.

Davey in the amount of $10,582.88 be authorized.
