City Manager Hudgens presented a memorandum for Council's con- sideration concerning the Lomax Street Bond Project. Hudgens stated that during the March 4, 1981, Council meeting, Council authorized the execution of a contract with McKey Construction Company, the low bidder on the project, subject to successful negotiations of the contract prices because of the reduced quantities of construction related to available funds. In addi- tion, Council redesignated $150,000.00 from Capital Improvement budget to the project. The redesignation was as follows: Matching funds for grant Swimming pool in Lomax $ 50,000.00 Parking lot paving around Lomax Park 100,000.00 The second item ($100,000.00) is not in the budget.
