questions and make comments with regard to the proposed storm drainage project
and the appraisals made on those easements not yet obtained from various prop-
erty owners, which easements Mr. Downs had appraised. After a great deal of dis-
cussion and, after Mr. Phillips explained that not many bidders had shown inter-
est in this project (and he .believed this to be partially due to the time of the

bids on the storm drainage bepostponed for thirty (30) days.

which it was decided that the Town Manager would again try to negotiate with these
property owners whose easements are still needed for these two projects.
