Authorize payment to Mr. Michael Barth in the amount of $2,800 for sewer
improvements at 29 Sweetbay Road.
Citing the substantial difference in sewer improvement fees at the two addresses,
Member Gardiner questioned whether the City's contractor is over - charging or
whether Mr. Barth obtained an exceptional deal for his sewer improvements.
Director of Public Works Dean Allison expressed his belief that Mr. Barth
obtained an exceptionally good deal in this case.
Agency Attorney Lynch explained that the City must comply with a lot more
requirements with Public Works contracts than an individual who is doing work
on their own property.

contractor had to take into consideration the easy and difficult jobs and give the
City a price for doing the connections; and expressed his belief that Mr. Barth
had one of the easier jobs to be performed.
