ITEM NO. 5 - General Discussion.
Mr. Michael Box, Director of Development and Enforcement briefed council
on the cleanup and stated this cleanup was far bigger than any that the
city has had in the past. Next, Mr. Box stated that the top coat was
spread over the bridge to hold it until the sidwalls are installed, all
specs were met with state requirements, and there was some cost over run
in the engineering requirements which may reflect in an over run on
costs. If so, it will be brought before council for approval.
Councilman Mundy questioned if there was an under run in other areas.
Mr. Box replied yes in the box culvert but had to put back in for
backfill because they had to go a little deeper and wider than
anticipated.
Mayor Abbott expressed a special "Thank you" for an excellent job well
done to the street department, county employees and Commissioner
VanRavenswaay's crew for the help provided to the City of Kennedale.

replied that by contract there is a 120 day completion time limit. Mr.

weeks.
