Authorization for Repair Work: Two recent problems have occurred
which required immediate attention. One concerned a plugged storm
drain on the north side of the 100 block of East Elkhorn, at an
estimated repair cost of $l,000-$2,000. The second problem
concerned repairs needed on a damaged trash enclosure by the Nagl
bridge, at an estimated repair cost of $1,000. It was moved and
seconded (Putney“Henderson) that these two expenditures be
authorized as presented, with monies used from the Sinking Fund, and
it passed unanimously.
At present, the Executive Director is authorized to spend $5,000
maximum, relating to construction projects, without prior approval
of the Board. The Board is now asked to adopt a policy statement
authorizing the Executive Director to respond to emergency
maintenance problems without prior approval of the Board. This
concern was referred to the Finance Committee, with a request to
return a recommendation to the Board in June listing^ the criteria of
an emergency maintenance problem and the spending limit allowed for
each repair without prior approval of the Board.
