Mr. Breihan said that he was concerned that the amount of work put in on the cemetery was insufficient under the terms of the contract and that he recommended the contract be ter- minated and re-bid. The City Manager reported on a series of meetings the Staff had held in an effort to solve problems with the contractor, a local mortuary and a sub-contractor and informed Council that the current contract seemed to be ambiguous and insufficiently funded to cover the required maintenance. Mr. Breihan responded that he felt the contract was specific enough and that the condition of recent gravesites was unsatisfactory, the contractor was employing too few persons, and piles of brush were left for long periods of time. Dinah Elwell, City Staff member responsible for supervising cemetery maintenance, reported that the contractor was responding to citizen complaints. Mr. Albert Ramirez came before the Council to say that he felt the condition of the cemetery had been improved under the current contract, but that insufficient funds had been allocated to meet public demand for services. Mr. Stokes requested that a record of citizen complaints be furnished to the Council when the topic next came up for discussion. The Mayor introduced for consideration award of bids for City vehicles. The bid sheet and staff report are attached and made a part of these Minutes. Mr. James moved to authorize the purchase of two Pinto sedans and three Ford pick-ups from Red Simon Ford in a total amount of $25,115. Mr. Stokes seconded the motion.
