0 • <br />MEMORANDUM <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />TO: Mayor Cline and Councilpersons <br />FROM: Jack Owen <br />SUBJECT: FUNDS ALLOCATED FOR SIDEWALK PROJECT <br />DATE: February 14, 1985 <br />When the public hearings were held on Revenue Sharing, 1983-1984 <br />Budget year, funds were requested by certain Councilmembers for <br />sidewalk construction. When funds from Revenue Sharing are used <br />for projects that require construction work such'as this, the <br />Davis -Bacon Act becomes effective concerning wage scales. <br />The increased cost of this project is a considerable amount. <br />We, therefore, recommend utilizing the funds as proposed on the <br />attached memorandum to cover the cost of the construction. When <br />our next budget is prepared, I suggest that our revenue funds be <br />allocated only to projects not requiring construction contracts. <br />Jack Owen <br />JO/llh <br />attachment <br />
