Goodsite backs Toledo engineer for sewer project contract
Mayor Wayne Goodsite recommends Toledo firm Finkbeiner-Pettit & Strout for the city sewer separation contract worth about four million dollars and says its bid is lower than rival Richard Mutz's. The move ends a deadlock with former Mayor Harold Finch over engineering bids. Council will also consider a police cruiser purchase and trade in, while a parking lot purchase is postponed due to incomplete figures.
