7. The City Administrator informed the council that he had been discussing
with Bob Rosene, the City Engineer, the desirability of having full scale master
reproducables. The Administrator informed the council that the former City
Engineer, Don Blaisdell, had in his possession his work product which was a
complete set of reproducables and that rather than paying approximately $1,000
to have copies made, there might be an opportunity for the city to purchase the
originals from Mr. Blaisdell at a substantially reduced cost. The City Adminis-
trator was authorized to pursue that matter and report back to the council.

alternate methods of providing police protection, binding arbitration, revision
of fire protection contracts, and a bill owed to the city from the FAA regarding
a building permit.
