MINUTES
July 24, 1972
A special Council Meeting of the Wheat Ridge City Council was
called to order by Mayor Albert E. Anderson at 6 10 p.m. at
7390 West 38 Avenue.
Aldermen attending were Dr. Paul Abramson, Jack Bramble, Robert
Howard, Calvin Hulsey and Ray Pepe. A notice of the meeting signed
by all the Aldermen is attached to the Minutes as proof of notification
of the special meeting. Alderman Joseph Donaldson was absent.
Also attending were City Attorney Maurice Fox, City Treasurer Malone,
Deputy City Clerk Elise McMillen, Director of Public Works Glen Taylor,
and interested citizens.
The purpose of the special meeting was to discuss emergency repair
work on the Marshall Street Bridge which had been closed to traffic.
Public Works Director Glen Tavlor stated that the Motion at the previous
Council Meeting had requested bids for repair work on the bridge which
would take approximately 90 days before work could begin, and that there
is a contractor in the area who is set up for work on another job and
who could start work tomorrow and have the job completed within approximately
three weeks at a cost "well within $20,000.00." The repair work is to
make the bridge structurally safe for traffic for the next 4 to 6 years
with the present load limit for the bridge.
Attorney Fox stated Council may be open to criticism in not allowing
proper time for bids to come in which have a total cost on a time
and material basis.
Alderman Bramble stated he felt immediate action needed to be taken, and
that the closing of the bridge was hurting businesses.
Motion by Alderman Bramble "I move that Wycon Construction Company
be authorized to construct temporary emergency repairs on an emergency
basis on the Marshall Street Bridge for a cost not to exceed $10,000.00."
Motion was seconded by Alderman Abramson.
Alderman Howard stated he would vote against the Motion because they
were not following the procedure set out in the purchasing manual
for spending public funds over $1,000.00.
Question was called and Motion passed 4-1 with Alderman Howard voting
"nay "
Meeting was adjourned at 6 30 p.m.
