2 1 S It had been decided that the Council would meet with the Attorney, the Engineer and the fiscal agent on August 7th to make a decision on the Jandric franchises. Mr. L'Allier stated that he objected to points number 6 and 7 in the letter from PCA since this would place a burden upon future councils as well as this one, and although it is not likely that the Company would default, a guarantee of takeover would bind future councils; in other words, PCA is asking that the Village under- write the entire project. After some discussion it was decided to wait until the 7th to decide on the franchises. Mr. Busch asked whether the Company should be present at the 7th meeting and was told "no", that we would contact them after the meeting if we wished to talk with them; otherwise we will place them on the agenda for the regular August llth meeting. Mfr. L'Allier noted that there was some Village sentiment toward municipal systems and we should pursue this further. a Mr. Gotwald read the results of the bids on the seal-coating work: the obvious low bidder was Allied Blacktop at $4,973.00; the other bids were: Bituminous Roadways at $8,120,00; T. A. Schifsky & Sons at $7.031.00 and Simon Contracting at $6,770.00. He had tabulated the bids and found all in order. He recommended Allied Blacktop to receive the bid. Mr. Bohjanen asked which areas would be seal-coated under this bid. Mr. Gotwald replied that this would include the Lakeview area, Aqua Lane, and the Park road. Other areas will be oiled later and Schifsky will do Ware Road.
