Attached is a copy of the plans for City <br />Council’s review. <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Council approve the plans and specifications for <br />this project. <br /> <br />Should this project proceed, the next City Council actions will be to approve the <br />updated agreement with the County and to award a contract. It is estimated that <br />a possible contract award will be presented to the City Council on August 8, <br />2005.
