Councilman Robbins asked that the follo~in~ ~ara~ph be added to his comments on Resolution No. 455, on the County Housing Authority, pa~e 2, paragraph III. A. as follows: Hinutes "Mr. Robbins said that he favored two restrictions to the op- eration of the Houstn~ Authority in addition to those proposed by the Public Welfare Committee. The first would limit rentals in Saratoga to Saratoga resi~ents. The second would keep the HousinS Authority from leasin~ units in Saratoga that had. net ~reviouslv been rented for some period of time, so that the Authority by its operation would not tend to increase the number of rentors and decrease the number of homeowners in Saratoga."

BIDS AND CONTRACTS A. CONSIDERATION OF BIDS FOR GILSONITING CERTAIN CITY STREETS Mr. Shook referred to his memorandum dated October 16, 1968 Gilsonite Bids addressed to the City Council on the street seal coating bids.

In response to a question by Mr. Robbins, ~{r. Shook said that paving contrac- tors had been experiencln~ some difficulties with the suppli- er of the Gilsonite material, which perhaps explained the lack of interest in bidding.

Shook's recommend- ations to reject all bids for Gilsonitin~ received this year, that the process be eliminated from the current street pavin~ program, and that the funds so saved be used to apply oil and ecreenin~s seal within the budget. ~r.
