EXPANSION OF LOT CLEARING CONTRACT MR. DAN DAVIDSON, Deputy City Manager, reported complaints concerning the condition of property north of Rosewood Avenue, west of the railroad tracks and south of 12th Street. This is a 76-acre tract of Urban Renewal land, which has been turned over to the City, who is responsible for removing the structures, debris, and clearing the lot. Then the area will be turned over to the Urban Renewal Agency which will assume responsibility. This represents Phase I of the Glen Oaks Area. The contractor who has the lot-clearance contract states, on the basis of a square foot charge that he bid for mowing lots, that he would go into this Glen Oaks Section and demolish the building, remove the debris, and clear the lot. There is no line item in the budget for this or other clearance projects, but funds had been approved by transferring moneys from other City depart- ments for this work. He explained the $180,000.00 committment to comply with the Urban Renewal contract. The $17,000.00 needed for this one project would give credit toward that $180,000.00 obligation. The administration recommended the expansion of the existing contract and use this particular section as a trial basis. If it works, more of these sites might be accomplished through this means.
