City Manager Fulton described the <br />extensive and comprehensive effort that went in to the remodeling plans as approved by the <br />Council and reminded the Council that there have been several projects, including the heating <br />and ventilation systems and the roof that have been deferred for several years while this plan <br />has been developed. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Motion by Kim Moore-Sykes, Seconded by Ann Hoffman AWARDING THE BID FOR THE <br />CITY HALL REMODELING PROJECT TO THE LOW BIDDER, LUND MARTIN, IN <br />THE AMOUNT OF $936,000.00. <br />3 Ayes (Larson, Hoffman, Moore~Sykes), 2 Nays (Doffing, Burg) <br /> <br />6 Council Member Doffing inquired about the need for purchasing a new mower and <br />whether a used piece of equipment might be purchased.
