Mr. Kennedy requested that Mayor Baker be authorized to sign a letter ad­dressed to Herman G. Pope, Executive Director of the Public Administra­tion Service, accepting their proposal to conduct a personnel survey in an amount not to exceed $3,000.00, the study to commence approximately November 1, 1957 and the report will be made approximately January 1, 1958. Commissioner Whipple moved the Mayor be authorized to sign the letter to the Public Administration Service.

Mr. Kennedy reported that the Engineering Department has re-run the es­timates on Assessment District No. 100-35 to include the improvement of the alleys in this district, and the estimated cost is still approximately $25.00 per front foot. The Commission expressed approval of the idea of including alleys in the assessment district. The City Manager advised the Board that P & C Construction Co., the con­tractor for the remodeling of Stage I of City Hall had been contacted to remodel the lobby of City Hall by installing aluminum doors in the center, blocking up the other and putting in windows, and had agreed to do this work at a cost of $2,150.15. Mr. Kennedy further reported that the alcove in the west wing could be blocked in to be used as an office at a future date at a cost of $555.79. The City Manager recommended that this work be authorized so that all alterations would be completed prior to having the outside of the building painted. Commissioner Sharp moved this work be authorized and a Change Order to P & C Construction Company in the total amount of $2,705.94 approved. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bunker and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Mr. Kennedy reported there have been requests for the installation of sidewalks, curbs and gutters on Sunrise Street from 25th Street to 26th Street and on 26th Street from Sunrise Street south to the alley inter­section. The City Manager advised the Commission that the Engineering Department is working on this request. At this time the Commission considered reports that beer has been sold to a minor at the El Charro Cafe, and also that employees have been per­mitted to work prior to registering with the Police Department. Commissioner Sharp moved that Manuel Garcia, owner of the El Charro Cafe, 416 West Bonanza be notified to appear at the next regular meeting on October 16, 1957 to show cause why his Restaurant Beverage license should not be revoked. Motion seconded by Commissioner Whipple and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. City Manager Kennedy made a report at this time on the fertilizer that is being used on the Golf Course. Mr. Kennedy stated that this fertilizer which apparently is too strong and has burned out some of the greens has been checked by the Engineering Department, and it does meet the specifi­cations of the bid. Mr. Kennedy stated that the firm that supplied the fertilizer is being contacted to see if it can be exchanged for a finer grind that can be used on the Golf Course greens.
