Commissioner Scott inquired whether Veit and Company is the company which recently
performed another mentioned demolition. The City Manager said he believes they are.

apartment buildings. The City Manager said it is below the estimated cost, but does not
include the charge for asbestos removal.
President Paulson asked when the demolition would take place. The City Manager said
bonding will be obtained, then the Council will be notified of the timing.
President Paulson commented the community should be notified when the demolition is
scheduled.
Commissioner Rosene asked whether the demolition might take place before the beginning
of the 1994 -95 school year. The City Manager said it will be done during the month of
August.
Commissioner Kalligher asked whether the Fire Department will use the buildings for
training before demolition. The City Manager said the Fire Department has already been
using them. In addition, fire departments from neighboring communities have been using
them, an action which will be reciprocated in the future. Residential neighbors of the
apartments have been aware of the activities and are interested in the coming demolition.
The vote was called and the motion passed unanimously.

find more work is necessary.
