of a small power generating unit
to supply peaking power during
the winter.
The rapid action was taken “be

is an urgent need for additional
power.” The Bond Election had
originally been scheduled to be
placed on the ballot at the time of
the August primary election. With
a minimum amount of discussion,
Ordinance 1157 was passed.
Another Ordinance, 1149, which
provides for the holding of a Bond
Election on the issuance of $8,775,
000 in revenue bonds for additional
generating facilities was also passed.

' only one bid was read last week,
j the contract was awarded to Fair

that the bid had been made by
Kenneth J. Vetter, a City employee.
City Attorney Barry Jackson ex
plained that a waiver would have
to be issued if Vetter were awarded
the contract. The Council did not
reconsider the bids.
Councilwoman Sylvia fF^hgstad,

it, it makes us look very stupid.”
Criticize P&Z
The Council also criticized the
planning and Zoning Commission
for failing to take any action on the
North Cushman right-of-way pro

drawn to the matter by a letter

a time estimate for the completion
of the project, and a recommenda
tion as to which route should be
utilized.
