in comp�lling MoCtner and McGutchen to do those �portions=of� the �work with
their own forces pursuant to the provisions of the California Administrative
Code, Section 4106, which is part of tlie Subcontracto'rs Fair Practices Act.
Mr. Murphy went pn to state that his earlier opinion dated March 4�, 1966,
which had been previously distributed to Council, was based on an error in
fact concerning the California license of Mottner and McCutchen. Since the
time of that opinion, he has been informed by the State Contractors License
Board in Sacramento that Mottner and McCutchen hold a California Class A
General Engineering Contractors License and as such are properly licensed
66
to perform all construction pertaining to a sewage treatment plant including
any electrical work incidental thereto.
David Packard, A.ttorney, appeared in behalf of George R. Osborn Const-
ruction Co. ? He gave as his opinion that the City Council should not accept
the bid of Mottner and McCutchen as a matter of policy and in consideration
of the local contractors. Mr. Packard urged Council to reject the bid of
Mottner and.McCutchen and award such bid to his client, the second low
bidder, George R. Osborn Construction Co. In the alternative, he urged
that Council reject all bids on Schedule B and re-advertise.
George R. Osborn appeared in behalf of the George R. Osborn Construction
Co. , and urged Council to reject the bid of Mottner and McCutchen. He ex-
pressed dismay that Mottner and McCutchen could submit a bid stating
they would use subcontractors and then be permitted to do the work themselves.
He also asserted that thirty craf�s; are involyed in the job and the
job cannot be done economically without subcontractors.
Glenn Newton, Attorney, appeared in behalf of Mottner and McCutchen and
stated that they have been advised by the State Contractors License Board
that they hold a valid license to do all portions of the work bia under
Schedule B.
Mayor Moty stated that he understands that if Mottner and McCutchen
failed to list subcontractors, that it is automatic that they shall perform
all the work on Schedule B. Since the bid price remains unchanged, iie does
not feel the bid has bee.n modified substantially.
Council�~nan Fulton expressed concern that the recommendation of the City
Attorney had been changed after a few phone calls, and that the City might be
open for litigation.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton that all bids for Schedule B, be
rejected. The motion died for lack of a second.
City Attorney Murphy reminded Council that his original recommendation was
based on erroneous facts, not the law. He late.r,�earned': that the license of
Mottner and McCutchen is adequate. The only change is in factual information.
He stated that failure to award the bid to the low bidder could also leave the
City open to litigation. He said the defect is immaterial and he �els that if
litigation comes as a result of approving the low bid, the City will prevail.
Councilman Denny stated his belief that Mottner and McCutchen has not changed
their bid but the law has acted to change the bid. At that point, the contractor
had no choice but to say they will perform the job with their own forces.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Doherty that
tentative app roval be given the low bids of:
Schedule A: Drav� Corporation in the amount of $l, 227, 535
Schedule B: 1Vlottner ;$z:.McCutchen in the amount of $335, 600
Schedule C: W. Jaxon Baker, Inc. , in the amount of $431, 760. 50
and, the final award of bid to be subject to the approval of the U. S. Public
Health Service and the City Manager is authorized to sign part B of the offer
and acceptance fo_rm.
Councilman Fulton ::�:r.equested that the bids be polled individually.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Chatfield to
amend the previous motion to vote separately on each schedule.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes.

A. THENS A VENUE - Plan Line ,
City A.ttorney Murphy reported his conclusions re the possibility of abandoning
a Plan Line once it has been approved. In his opinion, the City Council was
granted authority to create a Plan Line under the State Planning Act. Council
also has power�to amend a Plan Line and this includes power to amend it out
of existence. A Public Hearing.would be.neces_s,ary, to consider amendments
- or variances. •He advised that if the Council adopts the.Plan Line and later
determines it is not possible to carry it through and desires a compromise,
it will be possible to change it after consideration at a Public Hearing.
Mr. Murphy explained the Plan Line establishes .,property right of way over which
s�tructures cannot be'built without variance permits. There is no guarantee of
a timetable to do the things projected on a Plan Line. ,
Councilman Doherty stated he is satis.fied-that enough�flexibility remains for
future action to change the Plan Line if necessary, He said the Plan Line %jd�
Ordinance has proven�itself as a tool that is sound if it is properly used.
A communication from Fleischman of California, dated February 28, 1966,
offered suggestions for the widening of Athens Ave, without disturbing to any
extent the property owners on either side. Mr. Vic Andriatti, one of the
owners of Village Plaza Shopping Center s.tated -the owners.want to cooperate
so that the project can be completed. . He stated.the Shopping.Center now has -
sufficient parking but when other developments are completed, a parking
variance might be needed. "
Councilman Ghatfield stated that in his opinion, variances should be granted if
Council has reduced the parking ratio by adopting.the Plan Line.
