The Salisbury City Council convened in a Special Meeting at 9:05 a.m. in Room 300 of the City/County Government Building for the sole purpose of discussing Ordinance No. 1744.
ORDINANCE NO. 1744 - 2ND READING - BUDGET AMENDMENT TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE MARINA RESTAURANT PARKING LOT
Mr. Stacey moved and Mr. Gillis seconded to approve Ordinance No. 1744 to bring it on the floor for discussion. Executive Officer John Pick provided a briefing on Ordinance No. 1744, appropriating funding for the marina restaurant parking lot. Rather than waiting until the next regular City Council meeting on January 24, 2000, Council was asked to approve Ordinance No. 1744 today in order to issue a notice to proceed so the contractor could get started on the project. Under the contract, the contractor has an obligation to finish the project by March 31, 2000.
Mr. Stacey voiced that he still believed the project was too expensive. Mr. Himelright expressed concern that we may be overlooking a better way to construct the parking lot and may be spending more money than is necessary.
After further discussion, including Mr. Messick's clarification of the tonnage quantities, Ordinance No. 1744 for second reading passed unanimously.
The Special Meeting adjourned at 9:16 a.m.
City Clerk
Council President
