1 L!~ TUESDAY MARCH 14. 1967 Council continued for final action, pending decisions to be made as to certain details, tentative resolutions providing for the llNotice of Salell and the selling of bonds authorized for sewerage system improvements, school facilities, and municipal building facilities. In connection with the bid received February 21, 1967, from Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company, for the construction and installation of permanent coverings for several of the City's water storage units, Council accepted the joint recommendation of Wiley & Wilson (Consulting Engineers), City Manager Noland, and Public Works Director George W. Brown, that this project (identified as llDivision III - Waterworks Improvementsll) be re-advertised for bids. City Manager Noland informed Council that inquiry has been received indicating an interest by a motor freight line in purchasing two acres of land in the City's Industrial Park for a motor freight terminal. City Manager Noland also raised thE point as to whether such a business located within the Industrial Park would be in keeping with Council's original and long-range plans for development of this property. Councilman West, meanwhile, went on record as taking no part either in discussing this matter or voting upon the question of whether to sell the property because of the fact that his business and plant are located within the Industrial Park. After further discussion (Councilman West abstc.ining), Council suggested (with Councilman West abstaining) that City Manager Noland confer further with the representatives of the motor freight line to ascertain their wishes as to site location in order that Council might weigh these wishes with its plans for development of the entire area.
