The Council heard representatives of both banks, the Citizens Bank repre-
sentatives contending the bids were the same and the representatives of Peoples
contending that Peoples Bank bid was better since it made provision for an ex-
tended rate of ;*% interest rate for any monies placed on time deposit for a
period not less than 90 days. Should the money be placed on a 90 day notice
Time Deposit, and the City Treasurer learn later that the money will not be needed for
a period of 120 or 150 days, a 90 day notice may be given the bank by the Treasur-
er and an extension will be made on the additional days at the proposed 2% inter-
est rather than the 1% for deposits less than 90 days. The Council also discussed
the no interest charge on possible loans sought by the City vs the "not to exceed
i%" as quoted by Peoples State Bank. After discussing the-bids at length, Council-
man Clayton moved to accept the bid of Peoples State Bank, if it is found to be
the low bid. Councilman Mears seconded the motion. The Mayor called for further
questions, Councilman Lusk questioned the advisability of calling a vote without
a clarification of the contents of the bids. Mayor Pruett suggested that the bids
be referred to the City Attorney, he brief the law and present the results of his
study to the Council. Councilman Ward insisted that the question to be settled was
not one of a legal nature but a question of fact. After some further deliberation,
the Mayor called for the roll check on the above stated motion. The roll call vote
was as follows:
Roll Call: Ayes: Councilman Clayton Nays: Councilman Holloway
" Ward it Lusk

Since it was ruled a tie -vote, the bids were referred to the City Attorney
for study. He is to consult with any person or persons whom the banks may
suggest for a fair and impartial interpretation of the contents of each bid.
His opinion will be received within the next two weeks.
*Councilman Ward excused from meeting.

Street Pblic_v - Maintenance
The City Manager presented a three (3) phase Street Maintenance Fblicy
for the Council's consideration and approval. The first phase was upreventive
maintenance" for concrete streets consisting of a 1" course of cold rolled or
hot mix asphaltic concrete at an approximate cost of $0.30 per square yard.
Secondly, for gravel concrete streets, where necessary, expansion joints will
be repoured, reface concrete curb and break out and replace small fractured areas.
Thirdly, on streets that are not concrete, the recommendation included the re-
construction of such streets by using the existing materials, plus new materials
of asphalt, cement or water depending upon conditions. After the base has been
properly prepared, stabilized, shaped and compacted, a two (2) course inverted
penetration be laid on the surface to provide a wearing surface and a water seal.
He proposed to begin such a maintenance program with the streets presented by
name at the Council meeting of November 13th, beginning with Kentucky and go
from there to Gulf. His summation included three items for the retention of
permanent streets and the building of permanent streets in the City: to place
an asphalt seal or wearing surface on existing shell concrete when needed; to
go into some of the concrete streets and.,-seal the Joints, repair the curb to
prevent water seepage and to properly stabilize bases on non - concrete streets,
repair, crown them, drain and put a double bituminous surfacing on the streets.
The Council accepted the policy as set forth and instructed the City Manager
to proceed with the maintenance program, insofar as funds are available.
