The claims having been audited by the finmoe committee Councilman Tibbetts moved they
be paid, The motion was seconded by Councilman Boido and regularly carried. Mayor Holston
asked if any person wished to say anything before adjournment. Councilman Ratto, referring
to the annual report of the city engineer, stated tills was the first time one had been submi·
t~at our previous engineer had filed regular monthly.reports. He stated he did not have
time previous to the meeting to study it carefully, but had noticed several large items ,
which are not construction-costs,such as street sweeping, cleaning of sewers and equipment,
that if these and other items were deducted from the total amount of the report filed,
the city's engineering department is costing over §0%,whereas under the former engineer
for seven years doing approximately $6~0~000 worth of construction work, the' engineering
cost was less than 8~. He stated Mr. Marshall was doing outside work while drawing a
salary from the city, that his interests seemed not to be for the city, as evidenced by
the misunderstanding regarding the dumping of stumps in the city garbage dump. He critized
~he street workmanship done in Los Ceritos,Butler Road, South Linden Avenus,Grange Avenue,
Paradise Valley Streets and sanitary sewer, and stated Randolph Avenue was graded only
with rolled rock and that the same is bein~ washed apart. ~ie recommended that the city
,.,ge~i~ ,D t~e street equipment and go back to the old system of engineering. He also
stated the e~gtneer did not watch the library construction properly.
Mr. Marshall stated in his reply that in his opinion the library job?~was~;bhe, only~, ~ :
serious t?ing mentioned by Councilman Hatto. He said what happened could not have been otherwise
and defended the construction of the Paradise Valley roads and the repairs of the streets
in Los Ceretos,saying the repairs were made with birds eye rock and naturally would wash
away some in heavy rainey weather~
There being no further business before the board Councilman Lloyd moved to adjourn
until Monday, January 20,19~l,at 8 o'clock P.M. The motion was seconded by councilman katto
and regularly carried.
