Show t ( V, Lakiicif lU'Mt'M, Januai ) 'I'), i Vii i Syracuse OKs Advance Payment on Contract SYRACUSE City Council members voted a approval of a measure giving a $3,000 advance to a local contractor working to repair one of the citys water wells. Tom Stoddard, owner of Tom Stoddard Drilling in Hooper appeared before the council with his request. He told the coun cilmen he felt he would be able to meet the extended deadline on his contract if they would pay for his workers salaries and the gravel he needs to finish the project. Stoddard has until Feb. 15 to complete the project on the citys well. . According to terms of the project, Stoddard was required to produce 500 gallons of drinking water per minute from the well before being paid for the project. He will receive $35,000 if he is successful. Concerns were voiced by several council members about the advancement of money before any positive results had been obtained. Mayor Boyd Thurgood told the council this was a much smaller sum of money than had already been spent on the same well previously in an attempt to get water out of it. He told them he would not want to see them so close to getting the well back into operation and have the attempt fail because of this amount of money. Councilman Ben Thurgood moved that the city advance the $3,000 figure to Stoddard Construction but stipulated the city would control dispersement on the funds and if the well project is successful the funds would be returned to the city. Mayor Thurgood pointed out that this ap MM Ull WfltMUM, IH DnfcliJU.1 proach was a gamble and if the well could not be started again the city would lose the funds. He said the decision was a hard one for councilmen because they could look at it from several angles. He said on one hand they were responsible for spending citizens funds and on the other they had to realize the need for the water and determine if it was worth the gamble. The measure was passed with Susan E. Mar ting voting against the $3,000 advancement. Tel. 766-187- 0 or 773-500- 0 27 So.

So they wanted a reimbursement in the form of an ordinance waiver. The contractors were told by the council that the fees would have to remain, that they couldnt rescind the ordinance. The council is willing to work out some type of reimbursement but, at the time, couldnt see a way to do it legally. Councilman Carol Page .said that no one on the staff should be giving out information until all the facts were in. Councilman David T. , Saunders agreed and went a step further by saying all bids should be given out at once, in writing, and that no one should be giving out information over the phone. Brent Steed, building and plumbing inspector .for Kaysville, said that putting everything in writing would create all types of problems. Steed said the contractors must have the information immediately so they can meet bid deadlines. If they dont have an estimate they cant make an accurate bid.
