COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS COUNCILMAN CAMACHO said the City Manager, in pre -Council, said the issue of the old public works yard would be on next week's agenda; he would like to apologize to Mr. Bourcier; he received a call from the Mayor of Tecate wanting to know the status of the building and he told him that he would bring this to the Council's attention today; unfor- tunately, we failed to notify them of our dedication of the new Public Works Yard; he was informed that they would be notified so they would be here; they were very sorry that they weren't notified to come to the dedication; at this time, we have had bids on this thing and it has been an issue in the newspapers; he thought they all(Council) were in accord since we directed the City Manager to get rid of the building at his own discretion; he would like the Council's feeling on this; he would like to notify them tonight because they are anxious; this building has been up for bids and nobody wants to knock it down for nothing; our Sister City is willing to come here and take it away if we give them the salvage right and everything; he would like to ask the Council at this time if they would be willing to make a decision tonight and if so at this point in time...City Manager Bourcier said regarding this; the two bids that the City has received are for significant amounts of money and it would be his recommendation that it would be the most pru- dent act if we could get rid of this building without cost to the City; it would cost us a minimum of $2,500 if we took the lowest of the bids received; it would be his recommendation that the City of Tecate's offer of no cost would be beneficial to us. There was discussion. Council- man Camacho said the reason they want to know is because they are wanting to let the State know that they have been given the building so they could use equipment provided by the State to haul it away and have the proper equipment; what they intend to do is to raze whatever they can every day and fix it on the truck and haul it off and come back the next day, ad every day go back to Tecate with a load; they want to have good equipment; they apparently have to notify the State to apply for the use of some equipment, whatever they need. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Camacho, tentatively (that's the way it should be made), and instruct the City Attorney to come back with the proper paper work; and that will...in case somebody between now and then comes in and says they will give us $5,000 for it...City Manager Bourcier said there are only two firms in the County that demolish buildings and they contacted them both and received written proposals; there is nobody else to contact; awarding the contract to the lowest bidder ': would cost the City $2,500 and giving it to Tecate, it won'tcost the City a dime. Council- man Camacho said with the Mayor's permission and authorization he will notify Tecate. Mayor Morgan said this is the thing, maybe the attorney will come with something that he can't work out; there may be some rea- son...he doesn't know; he doesn't wadtto say well he will vote for it, 7/22,75 106 what he brings in here, because he will have to work it out to his (the Mayor's) satisfaction. Councilman Camacho said okay, he will notify them. Carried by unanimous vote.
