proper adver tising. Mr. Swift made a motion that contingent upon
the law permitting going to the open market since no bids were
received, the Board proceed to contact builders who might be

Keystone Square Retention Pond - Tom Welch, City Engineer,
reported that there had been no response to a letter sent to Jack
Johnson regarding a maintenance bond on the retention pond. Mayor
Reiman had received a call from Mr. Johnson stating that there
would be no response. The question was posed as to whether or not
the City had the right to hold up building permits pending
receipt of the maintenance bond since it has not been required by
the previous Board of Public Works when the pond was ordered to
be installed. The Mayor pointed out that the City has no
intention or desire to accept responsibility for the retention
pond. Mr. Walker made a motion to table a decision on the matter
until the next meeting when Mr. Welch and Mr. Anderson would
bring their complete files and the minutes of the previous Board
concerning the pond were reviewed. Motion seconded by Mr. Swift
and passed unanimously.

expense widen the asphalt pavement of Keystone Way from Carmel
Drive south approximately 125 feet and install the curbing and

the ingress and egress of that section of Keystone Way or of
Carmel Drive. After discussion, Mr. Walker made a motion to add
the words "weather permitting" pertaining to striping within 30
days after completion and adding the words "attempt to" before
restrict and adding the sentence "Both Keystone Way (south of
Carmel Drive) and Carmel Drive shall be maintained as two way
traffic flow streets." at the end of the agreement. (Copy of
Agreement attached). Mr. Swift seconded the motion which passed
unanimously. Mr. Swift made a motion to accept the Keystone Way
