4. CIVIC FIELD PROJECT: PHASE 2 - DEMOLITION
Referring to the architecturial drawings, F. Densmore from BJSS explained
that there are two options available to the City in regard to the demolition
of the existing grandstand at Civic Field. The first is partial demolition
of the grandstand which would leave the existing roof intact. This would
allow for an increase in the angle of the grandstand for better viewing,
but would limit the number of seats to 2,500 and would leave the grand-
stand off-set in relation to the football field. The second option is
to completly demolish the grandstand. This alternative would provide for
an increase in the angle of the grandstand, would provide more area for e
circulation, and a seating capacity of 3,000.
Mayor Olson then read the bids received for the demolition of the grand-
stand as follows:

It is BJSS's recommendation that the City Council authorize total demolition
of the grandstand to obtain the structural advantages and accept the low bid
of Cronaurer Construction at $18,821.55.
Councilman Buck moved the Council accept Cronaurer Construction's low bid of
$18,821.55 for the total demolition of the grandstand at Civic Field. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Wray. During discussion on the motion,
the Council discussed with Manager Whorton, Attorney Walrath and Mr. Densmore
