support.

CITY MANAGER MATTERS
The City Manager said he had reviewed extensive police facility documents
and determined that there may have been some complicity on the part of
staff in deleting foil backed drywall since the rebid did not contain this
material, therefore no suit has been filed. He said Dr. Spraul will be here
next week to test the building and that prices are being obtained for
materials to proceed with correcting problems.
The City Manager reported on Bob Keating's attendance at the Riverfront
Committee meeting relative to the Wabasso Corridor study; discussed his
meeting with representatives of Indian River County relative to Phase I
water assessments, stating that he is preparing a letter requesting the County
administer the assessment in accordance with previous consensus of
Council, requesting clarification as to where the authorization for the
request to the City to conduct the heatings came from.
Being no further business, Mayor Cartwright adjourned the Regular
Meeting at 9:05 p.m.
