City Council Rejects Animal Shelter Bids and Reviews Modular Option
The council rejected two new bids for the humane animal shelter after reviewing bids from Recon Building Systems and Bob Lipps Construction. They asked City Engineer Harold Roffmann to study modular indoor facilities and the cost, as bids exceeded the Fulford Construction bid earlier. Jefferson County Board had pledged $20,000 toward a shared shelter cost, leaving the city faced with over $50,000 in expenses. Council also awarded E. F. Wielt a $4,500 contract to install wiring in City Hall due to overload risks, without formal bidding. A drum shop ordinance amendment for Hotel Emmerson was tabled until full council presence.
