Mayor Amstrup acknowledged receipt of communications from the City
Clerk, dated June 4, 197L, submitting sunmary of bids and from
Mr. Asa Hanamoto, landscape architect for the project, dated
June 4, 1971, recommending ahra rd of contract to A&J Shooter, the
Iow bidder, including Alternate "A. "
For the benefj.t of the audience, Mayor tunstrup explained that it
had been necessary to reject prior bids for the same project
because of a legal technicality.
Councilman crosby questioned the need for using sod as opPosed to
seeding, pointing out that the latter method would be equally
effective and less costLy.
Mr. Hanamoto, upon recognj.tion by the Chair, explained that the
primary consideration was to expedite the project to completion and
that sodding would assure suitable playing fields by early spring
of next year. He stated that a conventional planted lawn probably
would be usabLe by June or Ju1y, if it was Council's position
that the earlier deadline need not be met.
councilman crosby stat,ed that he supported the project whole-
heartedly but considered the expenditure for sodding unwarranted,
especially since the organizations that will be using the facilities
73
have others available and will not be inconvenienced by a temporary
deLay.
There were
Councilman
no dissenting opinions voiced by fellow-Councilmen to
Crosbyrs remarks.
