Substantial completion is scheduled for October 7, 2010. The public grand opening will
be held November 12 from noon to 2 PM.
Mr. McRay requested direction on the standard building plaque: it was
the consensus of the Commission that the City seal be used (Indian head) rather than the
City logo; that the Project Manager's name be included on the plaque; that "Dr." be
added to Commissioner Velma Williams' name. Commissioner Mahany requested her
• name be deleted since she was elected this past June and felt former Commissioner Jack
Bridges' name should be the only name listed as the District 4 Commissioner.

passed a law that sets the citation amount at $158 and allows the City to receive $75 of
the $158; and that does not allow a system that pays the vendor based on the number of
tickets. He proposed the City invite the two vendors in and ask them three things: (1)
what is their technical capability; (2) how can they provide a cost neutral system to the
City; and (3) how can they help us collect funds. There was a consensus of the
Commission to invite the vendors in for a presentation at a Work Session as outlined by
Assistant City Attorney Groot.
