being deficient in taking care of the
problems of restoring the Civic Center

addressed. She spoke of a letter from
the architects that indicated areas that
were still major, i.e., the balustrade,
the clock tower, the leaky roof, air con-
ditioning. She stated that the roof
could not be repaired properly because of
the ventilation equipment and suggested
removing the out-dated equipment for more
up-to-date equipment.
Director of Public Services Yee
reiterated the history of the project and
stated that improvement of the roof had
never been part of the project.
Councilwoman Teglia felt that these
repairs should be made even if it cost
over $300,000.00 more because it was the
most important building in the City.
