Mr. Rosland referred to an opinion of City Attorney Erickson in which he opined that"aarding a contract tQ a bidder whose bid is required to be rejected, based upon subsequent modi- fications to that bid, amounts to negotiation of the contract in disregard of' the statutory requirement of competitive bidding" and that the City may not award the contract for the furnishing of the pumper fire truck to Pierce Manu- facturing Company. Xr. Erickson said that the alternatives open to the City are either to award the bid to General Safety Co., the low bidder after reject- ion of Pierce Manufacturing Co., and assume what appears to be a small risk of attack, or to reject all bids and readvertise for new bids on the contract. Councilman Courtney's motion rejecting all bids and directing advertisement ,for new bids was seconded by Councilman Shaw and carried.

Council's attention was called to a letter from the Metropolitan Council requesting that the City participate with the Metropolitan Council and with other communities in the metropolitan area to provide rehabilitation assistance for families with annual incomes of less than $16,000. Mr. Luce clarified that federal funds would be available for the Metropolitan Council and local administra- tive costs as well as funds for the rehabilitation of homes. Councilman Richards asked why, if so much money is available, funds have not been made available for the Morningside area improvements. Mr. Luce assured the Mayor that participation ' in this program should take only eight hours of staff time. Councilman Shaw said that, while he does not particularly favor participation on the part of the City, it is already law and he believes that the City should now join in the program. Following considerable discussion , Councilman Courtney said that he believed that it would be "penny wise and pound foolish" not to participate. He then offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council is committed to the preservation and rehabilita- tion of the existing housing stock in the metropolitan area; and WHEREAS, rehabilitation programs offer one way to keep lower cost homes available and in marketable condition for low and moderate income families and for the elderly; and WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council, operating as a Housing and Redevelopment Auth- ority, desires to work with communities wishing to undertake rehabilitation programs ; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Edina hereby expresses intent to join the Metropolitan Housing and Redevelopment Authority and other communities to acquire federal funds and implement an area-wide rehabilitation program.
