ITEM 6C
I have the followlng quest10ns concern1ng The cOMlng agenda
ITEM 6H.
Should we not take th1S opportunlty TO assess thp w1sdoM of
contlnu1ng to use the P1er Restorat1on Corp as opposed to
uSlng a COMMlss1on structure? I have heard several rUMors
concern1ng what lS happenlng on the p1er and I aM not sure
that we should spend anOTher $179)000 1n th1S dlrectlon
wlthout f1rst dssesslng what we have bought for our ln1tlal
$100)000. (Note: ThlS lS really IteM 6G )
In MY contlnulng Opposltlon to Most change orders> I aM con-
cerned about the expend1ture of an add1T1onal $300)000 appar-
ently Just because 1t 15 expedlent to spend another $300>000
on street lnproveMents. Why should we spend th1S Money now?
Wlll we spend $300>000 less next year? If we are Just dOlng
th15 now because 1t's cheaper under an old contract wlth the
Clty; perhaps we should cons1der spend1ng $300)000 less next
year on street 1Mprovenents so that we can spend such $300)000
onVother prlor~t1es?

ITEM 6R) At the rlsk of l.nCUrr1ng the wrath of SOMe hand1capped advo-
cates) I aM 901n9 to ra1se the quest10n of the wheelcha1r
11fts on the buses What has been our ut111zatlon flgures
on the 11fts7 What 11nes get the usage? What 1S our track
record on breakdowns and repd1rs? Are we Mandated by the
feds to 1nclude the 11.fts on all buses purchased by federal
funds? Can we use the Money to add 11fts to the buses for
hand1capped vans 1nstead? Would th1s not be a better serVlce
for our hand1capped res1dents? What addl.tlonal costs would
be 1ncurred for operat10n of d few such vans7 How Many would
~taff suggest that we purchase 1r the CounCll were to declde
that vans are a better serV1ce than the 11fts? Please also
glue Me whatever other suggest10ns you May have 1n th1S regard
Cother than t~e obvious suggest10n that I drop the whole 1dea
wlthout 1nqulr1ng further).
