Parks Director Jeff Owens addressed the council and said the bid openings last <br /> Thursday for the development of the new East Main Street Soccer Complex came <br /> in considerably over bid and were all rejected. He said they decided to include in <br /> the bid specs 5 permanent baseball practice/overflow fields for tournaments and in <br /> doing so, it added approximately $500,000 to the bids. They have since, removed <br /> the baseball fields and have gone out for bids again. He said having to remove the <br /> baseball fields will slow down the process for the project because we will have to <br /> keep the Fitzhugh ball fields for next year's ball season but everything should still be <br /> completed within the time restraints. <br /> LIAISON REPORTS <br /> None <br /> COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Councilmember Matthews said the bids for the large project at the Airport come in <br /> under bid but they are still going to receive the entire grant moneys therefore being able to <br /> expand the project by about 4,000 feet. He said this is the largest project at the airport <br /> since the large runway project many years ago. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> There being no further business, Councilmember Bryant moved that the meeting be <br /> adjourned. Councilmember Insell seconded and all voted for. <br /> RICK ELUMBAUGH, MAYOR <br /> DENISE M. JOHNSTON, CITY CLERK <br />
