Action: [City Clerk's Note: See Action under Item 4A to hear after 3B.] Assistant Public Works Director Bill Evans said a few months ago the Public Works Department was asked to solicit bids to pour three decorative bases to hold commemorative and informational plaques for our parks, and to get a price for a base for the Pelican that now stands in Pelican Community Park, which came in at between $22,000 and $26,000. Public Works staff went over different ideas and figured out a way to accomplish this task at a considerable savings to the City. Staff poured the bases, finished them decoratively, and mounted the plaques at a cost of about $1,700, saving the City over $20,000. In recognition of this service, Mayor Edelcup, City Manager Szerlag and Mr. Evans presented Certificates of Appreciation and checks to Public Works employees Ronnie White, Joe Grunzweig, Rob Williamson, Lee Drake, and Cesar Moreno, who went above and beyond the call of duty. 5D.
