The engineer also questioned the bridge being on property owned by someone other than the City. The engineer will check the bridge location and the City's need for its lot. Mrs. Hardy has indicated she will build the bridge if the City will donate the property the bridge will be on. The Administrator will determine acquistion of the parcel by the City.
