Vol. 40, Page 77. City Manager Paul West reported that the timing of the contractor was an important factor to consider. The City would be risking the quality of work on asphalt after November and before June. The contractor, Austin Paving, has said that if the program was cancelled, the city would be charged for materials the contractor has bought for the job. There was discussion that if the program was not postponed then the contractor would be ready to pave Thursday. There also was discussion that the waterline between Dorado Beach and Southern Pines had not been replaced and when it was replaced the line needed to be removed from the yards and put in the street. There continued discussion relating to obtaining a study, the timing and need for the scope of the study. Councilman Weidinger made a motion instructing the City Manager to call the contractor and postpone the overlay program until the Council has had the opportunity to talk to Councilman Blair about the meeting he attended with Mr. Rice and Mr. Edmiston. Councilwoman Dingman seconded the motion. There followed more discussion relating to the study. Councilman Johnson made a substitute motion instructing the City Manager to exclude from the overlay program that portion of Pebble Beach lying within Dorado Beach to Southern Pines Drive. Councilwoman Dingman seconded the motion. The substitute motion carried unanimously.
