Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, September 21, 1955 to November 20, 1957, lvc000010-575

Works Engineer Uehling presented for consideration the improvement agree­ment of Max Howard for installation of sewer, water, street lighting, curb, gutter, sidewalk and paving on unsubdivided property at the South­east corner of 8th and Oakey. Mr. Uehling advised the Commission that Mr. Howard is requesting that the improvements be covered by funds placed in escrow, in lieu of a performance bond, and stated that agreements with contractors have been submitted in the total amount of $8,712.50. The City Attorney advised the Commission that if the request to waive the performance bond is allowed that a precedent is being set since all subdividers are required to file a bond. Mr. Cannon further advised that the performance bond insures the installation of the improvements and the money in escrow merely takes care of the individual's agreement with the contractors. Mr. Howard appeared at this time and stated that he was attempting to cut down on expenses and requested that the bond requirement be waived. Commissioner Bunker moved the off-site improvement agreement with Max Howard on unsubdivided property at the Southeast corner of 8th and Oakey be approved subject to the posting of a performance bond. 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. Mr. Uehling requested that the Annual Bid Bond of $1,000 posted by Super­ior Tire, Inc. in connection with their bid for the contract to supply tires and tubes to the City be released. Mr. Uehling advised the Commis­sion that a $500.00 performance bond has been filed by this firm to cover the 1956-57 contract. Commissioner Fountain moved the $1000 Annual Bid Bond of Superior Tire, Inc. be released. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bunker and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp and His Honor Mayor Pro Tem Whipple voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Mayor Baker.
