It was the recommendation of the Director of Public Works that the bids received for the construction of lavatories and a storage room at the Golf Course, known as Bid No. 55.11 be rejected due to the fact that the lowest bid was $5,002.00, and the money budgeted for this construction was not sufficient. Mr. Wade further recommended that if the installation of these facilities was needed it could possibly be done at a later date under forced account. Commissioner Sharp moved that all bids received for Bid No. 55*11 be rejected due to the fact that there is not sufficient money budgeted. Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Commissioner Bunker.

He stated that repairs to streets under Work Order No. 11.10 amounted to $17,624.61 and repair of the sewer plant totals $17,014.03. He further reported that there are ten to twelve manholes for the sewer lines that will also have to be repaired. City Manager A. H. Kennedy advised the Commission that applications for Federal aid had been received and would probably be filed by the end of this week. He further reported that Mr. Granger of the U. S. Government would be in Las Vegas on July 11, 1955 to discuss this matter. Mr. George Wade presented the request of the Sal Sagev Hotel to replace the sidewalk on the southeast comer of Fremont and Main Streets with terrazo block. He advised the Commission that the Hotel was willing to enter into an agreement with the City that they will replace the block at their own expense should the City find it necessary for any reason to break through the block. Commissioner Sharp moved this request be approved subject to the Sal Sagev Hotel entering into the agreement to replace the terrazo block.
