Dr. White said the district has estimated that cost of the construction would be less than $20,000 and so had called for price quotations rather than bids which is according to standard IN ADDITION $20,000. to Herm Hughes Con- struction three other construction com- panies quoted prices for the work. W.W. Gardner Construction quoted a price of $29,965, the second low quotation. The board voted that, if Dr. Whites conversation with the board attorney indicates that since the bid exceeded $20,000 it is not legal, the district will call for bids for the construction and award the bid to the low bidder. IN TWO other matters, the board approved spending an estimated $7,500 for construction of curb, gutter and sidewalks in front of Lincoln Elementary School in Layton. The board was responding to a request from the city. It is a normal procedure for the district to pay a portion of the cost. Superintendent Wrigley said.

The board suggested the administration check with Mrs. Larsen and see if she wants to get another appraisal of the property before making the decision. Dr. White reaffirmed again there is no foreseeable use for the property. THE BOARD did not act on whether to sell an easement to Delbert Duerden to allow him access to his property which is d on the east side of Woods Cross High School. They decided instead to ask for an appraisal of the property and check with Mr. Duerden on the possibility of buying the property. In addition, Mrs. Italasano moved that the board request a legal opinion to see if the district is bound to provide another access to other property owners in the area. The matter arose when the board received a letter from another property owner requesting the board also provide access. land-locke- IT WAS the opinion that if the board y to Mr. Duerden it granted would not require the same treatment for other landholders since his property is the only property which is landlocked.
