1 January 11, 1982 129 Mr. Locher read the ordinance which says this type of operations shall be 300' from a 'residential district'. Mr. Reinert felt that there had to be a point of negotiation in this matter. Somewhere along the line there has to be a neutral point that can be reached where both parties can be satisfied. He asked Mr. Karth if it isn't possible to sit down with Mrs. Reinhold and Mr. Rehbein and work this out? Mr. Karth said they had discussed this with the owners of the property more than once and, so far, there has been no progress. The owneres feel their property is worth a certain amount and Mr. Rehbein doesn't feel that it is worth that amount. Mr. Reinert said there had to be a point of agreement on this matter and he would like to see a delay of at least a month to work this out. Mr. Karth asked if he would mediate this settlement and Mr. Reinert said, No, he did not say that he would. He felt this is something that two reasonable people should be able to reach a mutual agreement. Mr. Karth noted this had been tried twice before without success. After some discussion on this matter, Mr. Reinert moved to delay a decision for 30 days. Seconded by Mr. Marier, Motion carried unanimously. ENGINEER's REPORT Mr. Winner reported on the bids that were opened on January 8, 1982 for the construction of the utilities in Lakes Add. #7. There were 16 bids received. The low bid was presented by Axel Newman Heating and Plumbing, Inc. in the amount of $306,503.40. The second low bid was submitted by Austin P. Keller Construction Company in the amount of $327,954.45. Mr. Winner reported that he had received a letter from the low bidder stating that he had made a mistake on some of his calculations and he is asking for $14,180.00 more than he bid. Mr. Winner pointed out there are three options for the Council; 1) award the bid to the low bidder and if he refuses to sign the contract, retain the bid bond; 2) award to the second low bidder; 3) readvertise. Mr. Winner said he had some computations as to the assessments - the low bid would result in approximately $4675.00 per lot and the second bid - $5002.00 per lot. There was some discussion on the matter of the Court case this land is in- volved with and Mr. Locher said he had checked and this has been set for some time in February. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to accept the bids as presented and reported by the Enigneer. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to table a decision on this for thirty days until February 8, 1982 Council meeting. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried unanimously.
