conforming use, i.e., the storage and maintenance of carnival
equipment on the premises. Mr. Gardner appealed to Council to
amend his petition from the original request in the zone change
application to rezone the A-I portion of his property to C-I
because he had entered negotiations for the construction of
twenty-two apartment units on the property. A plot plan of the
proposed development was included with the letter.

application, processing of the application and the new request

Councilmen Holmes stated that, in his opinion, there had been
very little trouble in the past and he was sure Mr. Talley and
other members would stipulate that certain things would not be
tolerated when the contract with the carnival representative
was drawn. Therefore, that would be all that would be neces-
sary and on that basis he thought it in order to permit the
operation.
The motion made by Councilman Holmes, seconded by Councilman
Bishop that the permit be issued and the fee waived carried
four to one as follows:

tention, Resolution No. 59-45, and ordered by Resolution No.

tion of notice inviting bids which were referred to City

After opening and reading the bids, City Clerk Backus referred
them to City Attorney Gorllck for examination.
City Attorney Gorlick stated the bid bonds all seemed to be in
order; however, he wished to point out that the bid bond sub-
mitted by Laird Paving Company was not signed by the bidder as
principal it simply had the assurance of the surety company
as bidder. The bid bond form In the City's specification re-
quires the signature of the bidder as the prindipal, however,
it'was a defect that Council could waive if they desired.
Mr. Gorlick also called attention to the bid of Bebek-Rodriquez
the form provided In the specification was used and there was
nothing wrong with the form, except that after 10% of the
amount of the bid" Mr. Rodriquez had the figures 1070" which
did not look like 10%". Mr. Goriick said it raised a question
but could be left up to the City Engineer as to whether or not
he had submitted the required bid bond.
