210 <br /> <br />Consideration re: <br />Appropriation_= <br />$216,819.98 - Down- <br />town Mall Project <br /> <br />Resolution re: <br />Social Development <br />Commission <br /> <br /> The City Manager advised the Council that the Mall construction <br />is substantially complete, but that final payments to the contractor <br />and architect have not been made.

This <br />would leave a project over expenditure of $39,119.98 as a result of <br />contractural agreement to pay the architectural design fee for <br />the two blocks of the Mall that were not constructed and $52,700 <br />for additional work being designed such as bike racks, bollards, <br />cigarette urns, directories and signs. The Council expressed <br />concern about the lighting on the Mall; reasons why the merchants <br />are not staying open at night; and public restrooms in the Mall <br />area.
