Discussion was held by Council on the bids received and the recommended
contract award for the vehicle towing and impounding services. A concern
was expressed from the Council that the specifications did not address the

not an issue and that the specifications were correct. Councilmember

attorney renders an opinion on his ability to vote on this issue since he
is an employee of AAA Salvage. See Clerk's file 1992-25.

the construction of sanitary sewer facilities to serve the Armory. Mr.
Simons presented three different options for extending the sanitary sewer

for recommending Option B which would provide service to the Armory and to
several parcels located on the east side of Highway 3 and limited future
service to areas north and west of the Armory. A concern was expressed
from the Council that this option could cause predetermination of future
