Mr. Ford has submitted to the City a cash escrow of $4,000 to be held until April 15, 1986, at which time, should the list of item not be completed, the City will use the $4,000 and have the local contractor do the work. Mayor Benson recommended following up with a letter to Mr. Ford explaining again the timetable involved so,that there is no misunderstanding and that the City has record that Mr. Ford was notified of the plans of the City. The letter should also state that the City is in receipt of the $4,000 escrow and that the local contractor will come in if the list of items is not complete by 4/15/86. Mr. Ford should be aware that there will be no grace period. Since the judge ordered that the list be completed to the satis- faction of the Building Oficial, the Council requested that the Building Official report at the April 14, 1986 Council meeting the status of clean up at the Ford property, and the Council will take action that evening. MOTION: Mr. Marier moved to send Mr. Ford a letter as Mayor Benson outlined and to take action on the Roland Ford issue at the Council's 4/14/86 meeting. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

MOTION: Mr. Marier moved to have a special meeting, which should last about an hour on Tuesday, February 18 at 7 :30 P.M. to form a committee to deal with the gas utilities issue. He felt that this issue was too important to be rushed through tonight and that the committee should have an objective of moving forward and putting the past behind. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Marier requested that this committee not become so large that it is inefficient. Attendees should come prepared to put together a team and a plan of action. Discussion of Police Chief Campell's Probation Mr. Bisel voiced his feeling that, particularly in view of the forward looking programs, etc. spelled out in Mayor Benson's State of the City Address this evening, all City Boards and employees would have to pull together to see these plans become a reality and it would require a cooperative working relationship between all involved. Based on this, Mr. Bisel moved as follows.
