IV. OLD BUSINESS
A. CIVIC CENTER
Mr. Diaz reported that the committee was recommending that the contract
with Fred Arbuckle, landscape architect, be terminated and the funds for
that contract be utilized to retain the services of Ron Gregory, landscape
architect.
Mayor Puluqi said that Mr. Arbuckle had phoned several of the Councilmen
indicating he was unaware of any problems and surprized at his contract's
recommended termination. Charles Martin, project architect, stated he felt
Mr. Arbuckle was aware but emphasized the committee's concern was not
one of Mr. Arbuckle's ability, but one of distance and the fact that he was
busy with other contracts in his other location.
Councilman Kelly moved to authorize the termination of the contract with Fred
Arbuckle and to retain the services of Ronald Gregory, landscape architect. Mayor Puluqi
seconded the motion. Motion carried by a 4-0-1 vote with Mayor Pro-Tempore Snyder
ABSTAINING inasmuch as he felt he did not have enough background to vote on the issue.
