The Vote: Unanimous A.yes CONSTRUCTION OF TIGER FIELD MA.SONRY A.ND CHAIN LINK FENCE Public Works Director Arness requested that action on this item be tabled until the meeting of February 16th, inasrnuch as his recommendation re this project requires a 4/5 vote of the Council and there are only three Councilmen present at this meeting. Archer Pugh, Chairman of the Recreation and Parks Commission, indicated that Shasta High School uses Tiger Field for practice and scheduled baseball games and their season starts about March 15th; therefore, it is desirable that construction of the fence be started as 1 yO soon as possible . Mr. Pugh further stated that the Recreation and Parks Commission recommends that the east section of the masonry wall (on Grape Street) be placed approximately 10 ft. closer to the street. The present plan provides for a 15 ft. strip between the wall and the street which would necessitate maintenance by park personnel. If the wall is placed 10 ft. closer to the street, this will result in a light standard in the right field playing area being within the wall. It is recommended that this light standard be moved outside of the wall .

The Vote: Unanimous A.yes lg LEGISLA.TION - Disclosure of Assets Law City A.ttorney Murphy reviewed a communication received from the City of Carmel by-the=Sea urging opposition to the Disclosure of A.ssets law. Mr . Murphy said that one of the intentions of the pro- posed action is to ask for declaratory relief as a means of obtaining a judicial interpretation of the new law. He stated that the League has submitted a list of 30 questions to the A.ttorney General requesting clarification, but there has been no indication as to when an opinion will be forthcoming. Mr. Murphy recommends that Council join in this action, stating that he would not e�ect the City would expend more than $200. as its share of the cost. Councilman Fulton suggested that each City Council wire the Attorney General requesting an opinion as soon as possible re the Disclosure of A.ssets law. Mr. Murphy said that an opinion from the A.ttorney General will probably be received before a court decision, but that �J� an Attorney General's Opinion doe s not equal in weight a judicial decision. Councilman Chatfield said he believes the law should be clarified but expressed concern about expending City funds re such a matter, Mr. Murphy said that it is legal to expend City funds to attack in court a statute that affects the City. Inasmuch as only three Councilmen were present at the meeting, it was decided to table the matter .

AWA.RD OF BID - Construction of Tiger Field Masonry and Chain Link Fence A.ssociate Civil Engineer Mathis reviewed the analysis and recornxnenda- tion for award of bids for construction of the Tiger Field Masonry and Chain Link Fence, Bid Schedule No. 536 . The low bidder for the chain link fence (A.lternate B) is John Frank, who is a qualified bidder. However, there is a problem insofar as A.lternates A. and C re masonry wall and footing. Mr. Mathis stated that prior to the bid opening, the local State Contractors License Board indicated that a C-29 (Mason) could only construct the masonry wall, and a B-1� contractor could construct both wall and footing. The City of Redding amended the bid proposal allowing separate bids for the wall and the footing. A.fter the bid opening and prior to a recommendation to Council at t�ie meeting of January 19th, the State Contractors License Board in Sacramento ruled that wall and footing have to be constructed by the same contractor. U��; Subsequently, after Council tabled the recommendation, the State Con- � tractors License Board in Sacramento ruled that, in addition to the above ruling, a B-1 contractor was not properly licensed to perform any of the work. Mr. Mathis said that three of the masonry contractors initially bidding this work are properly licensed to perform the combina- tion of A.lternate A. and C. Public Works Director A.rness said it is his recommendation that Council award A.lternate B (Chain Link Fence) to John Frank on his low bid of $l , 513 . , and that by a 4/5 vote, Council reject all other bids of Bid Schedule No. 536 and authorize the Department of Public Works to negotiate a contract for the construction of an adobe slump block fence and concrete footing with the properly licensed contractors initially bidding this work.
