The Council discussed the Extended Plat for Ator Heights III Addition and after much
discussion on the drainage problems, Mr. Ball suggested that this be tabled until the
Council could ascertain what the plans were concerning the drainage which runs across
Stith Street North from the Ator Heights area and South to 8th Street causing a difficult
drainage problem in that area. The Council concurred with this suggestion.
Mr. Campbell gave each Council member plans showing office furniture considered in bids
from Dan P. Scott & Sons ($13,241.51) and Scott-Rice Company ($17,885.76). The Council
decided to table any action until the October 1, 1974 meeting so that further study on
needs could be made.
Mr. Ball suggested a special meeting be set up to set goals for the coming year. The
Council decided to take this up at the October 1, 1974 meeting.
No action was taken on the Engineering Contract with Mansur-Daubert Williams, Inc., since
the present contract is in effect until June 30, 1975.
Mr. Mansur gave the Council the results of tests made on cement at the Swimming Pool by
Oklahoma Testing Lab. He stated that six 4 inch holes had been drilled in walls and floors.
No test could be made in No. 4 because of honeycombing. Tests on 1, 2 and 6 were above
minimum recommended by the Engineers. Tests 3 and 5 were below minimum as recommended by
the Engineers. The Council asked Mr. Mansur what course of action he felt they should take.
Mr. Mansur said he would recommend that they wait until the job is completed and the con-
tractor is ready to +~sell the pool to the City~~ and then they will have a recommendation
for the Council. He related that his present thinking will be to extend the Maintenance
Bond which is presently set at one (1) year. The Council questioned if this would be one
year from finished job or one year from time pool could be used. Mr. Mansur stated it
should be one year from finished job and this would be another reason to extend the cont act.
Mr. Mansur, when questioned about the roughness of the pool, and cracks in the bottom an~

sides of the pools stated that these would be taken care of by the contractor.
Mr, Campbell read a proposal to the Council from Mr. Coy Money for work on the East
Ball Daimond. It reads as follows: ++I will build baseball field with 8 poles and 4.$' 1
lights to the City's specifications will furnish all materials labor, and equipment
except for materials City has on handy which consists of lights 4 poles and wire. Will
pickup and inspect and recondition all lights will take underground wire to Public Service
and trade for overhead wire. Will build for the sum of $71500.00 which can be paid $1000.00
upon completion date and the remainder in monthly payments agreed upon by both parties.+~
The Council discussed the pros and cons of going overhead with wiring without B. 0. R. funds
or underground with wiring for B. O.R. funds. Mr. Myers asked if the City wasn't required
by law to have more than one bid. Mr. Campbell stated that we should have another price
and asked Mr. Bill Williams if he could get another price estimate. Mr. Large moved that
we okay this project on condition that another estimate be given and the Council accpet
the best bid. Mr. Myers seconded the motion. Ayes; Rossi Myers Bally Larger Duncan.
At $:07 P.M.~ Mr. Duncan moved and Mr. Myers seconded to adjourn, Ayes; Rossi Myers
Bally Larger Duncan.
