The Engineer was asked to review the bids for extensions and conformity, and action was held
up for the present. Later in the meeting, after discussion, a motion was made by Councilman
Sorensen, seconded by Councilman Slye that the City accept the bid of Joplin Paving Co., whom
we consider the lowest responsible bidder, on LID #114, in the amount of $6,747.50, rejecting
the low bid of Lake City Gravel & Materials because of unsatisfactory performance on their
last two jobs for the City of Edmonds. Motion carried unanimously.

Lake City Gravel & Materials $6,800.00
Joplin Paving Co. 6,648.75
Washington Asphalt Co. 6,941.55
These bids were also referred to the Engineer for checking, and later in the meeting a motion

Hearing was held on the final assessment roll on LID #116, paving Admiral Way & Dayton. There
were 2 written protests; no one in the audience spoke for or against. Engineer Jones reported
that the preliminary cost per zone front foot had been figured at $5.05, and the final zone
front foot cost came to $4.76. It was moved by Councilman Christensen, seconded by Councilman
Simpson that Ordinance #994 be passed, approving and confirming the final assessment roll on
LID #116. Motion carried. The Mayor expressed congratulations to the contractor for a very
good job, and to the engineer in obtaining a contract at less than the estimate.
Hearing was held on the preliminary assessment roll on LID #119, sewers in the Senior High
School area. There were 3 written protests, and the one from Robert W. Martin of Bob's
A & W Drive -In concerned the cutting of trees on the easement for sewer. He offered an al-
ternate plan, and Engineer Jones stated that this would be used if feasible, as it is the
desire of the City to save all trees possible. Several members of the audience protested
the amount of their assessments, especially Mr. Cross and Mr. Roberts, who both own con-
siderable property on Highway 99. Also a member of the audience mentioned the dnd of the
sewer line on a culdesac, which deleted a few houses, and Engineer Jones explained this
was necessary due to the slope of the land, and that another LID would serve those houses,
along with other areas as they came into the City. It was explained to all that it takes
60% of the assessment protesting to kill the LID, but Attorney Hall stated the Health
Department says there is a definite health hazard in this area. In this case the city is
empowered to proceed with the LID without regard to protests. The Mayor read a letter from
Dr. Kenny, Health Officer, pointing out the health hazard. Mention was made of the question

• of restoration of roads after the LID work, and the Mayor again pointed out that restoration
is made to improved roads, but not on dust oiled streets. Following the discussion, it was
moved by Councilman Slye, seconded by Councilman Tuson that Ordinance #995 be passed,
creating LID #119, sewering of the Senior High -School area. Motion carried.
Hearing was held on the preliminary assessment roll on LID #120, paving of 3rd from Main
to Elm. Council was served with a Writ of Prohibition on the basis that proper notice
was not given. Charles Shepherd stated he did not receive the notice himself, that it
was sent to his bank and in turn sent to him. Attorney Hall explained that the law states
that the hearing notice is to be sent to the owners of record on the rolls of the County
Treasurer, from which these are always taken. The Writ will be answered by the Attorney
on the date mentioned, but he advised the Council to proceed with the hearing. Seven
other written protests were read, and a petition with 24 signatures of property owners
living between Pine and Elm stating that they did not wish to be included in this LID.
Mr. Jack Williams asked if he could contract to do his own paving at 3rd and Dayton, and
the Council explained why this would not be possible, and Mr. Williams was satisfied.
Following a great deal of discussion on the protest against including the area from Pine
to Elm, Councilman Tuson moved, seconded by Councilman Harrison that the portion between
Pine and Elm be deleted from LID #120, and the motion carried. Margaret Dority questioned
her charge on the assessment, since grade had been established by the City and curb in-
stalled. Engineer Jones was instructed to work out the problem with her. It was then
moved by Councilman Christensen, seconded by Councilman Smets that Ordinance # 996 be
passed, creating LID #120, paving 3rd from Main to Pine. Motion carried.
Hearing was held on the preliminary assessment roll on LID #121, sewers on the east side
of 3rd from Pine to Elm. One letter of protest was.read., along with a petition signed
by 4 property owners protesting the project. The Engineer was asked to check the
percentage of owners protesting, and this was found to exceed 60%. Councilman Tuson
moved, and Smets seconded that the proposed LID #121 for sewers on the E. side of 3rd
• from Pine to Elm be dropped. Motion carried.
Petitions were read signed by 56 property owners, setting forth the request that the City
take the necessary steps for a General Obligation Bond election to acquire beach and
tidelands from the Ferry Dock north to the extension of Melody Lane for recreation use.
Mayor McGinness said he also had received two additional petitions with the same request,
and since this is an expression of opinion of many people, these petitions should be
considered by the Planning Commission. Therefore, the City Clerk was instructed to notify
the Planning Commission by letter that the City Council has (so many) petitions with
(so many) signatures requesting certain action, and that they consider this with respect
to the adoption of the comprehensive plan. As the petitions come in, to so advise them.
In regard to the proposed traffic control signal at 91� and Edmonds Way, it was explained
.that if a Resolution is directed to Paul McKay, that Olympia is ready to act on this.
It was thus moved by Councilman Slye, seconded by Councilman Tuson that Resolution #82
be passed, requesting the State Highway Dept. install a traffic control light at 91' S.
and Edmonds Way. MoLon carried.

disposal systems, providing for certificates of compliance for sewer disposal system
designers and system installers requiring permits, defining offenses and providing
penalties was introduced by Attorney Hall. It was decided to defer action until next
