ORDINANCE NO. 3 3 -1980
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO NEGOTIATE FOR REPAIRS TO
THE VAN BUREN SWIMMING POOL.
WHEREAS, the City has an immediate need to do some major repair
work to the plumbing and electrical facilities at the
Van Buren Swimming Pool, and
WHEREAS, it would be extremely difficult to define the exact
nature of the total repair work, thus making it virtually
impossible to take bids, and
WHEREAS, Section 19 -4426 of Arkansas Statutes, annotated, provides
that: The governing body, by Ordinance, may waive the
requirements of competetive bidding in exceptional sit-
uations where such procedure is deemed not feasible or
practical."
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
VAN BUREN, ARKANSAS:
1. THAT the City Council waives the requirement of
competetive bidding in this particular case, as set
out above, as such a procedure is not deemed feasible
or practical.
2. THAT the Mayor is authorized to negotiate with local
plumbing and electrical contractors for the repair
and replacement work at the swimming pool.
3. THAT in order to get our swimming pool in good shape
during the "off" season, this Ordinance being nec-
essary for the immediate preservation of the public
peace, health, and safety, an emergency is declared
and this Ordinance shall take effect and be in full
force after its passage and approval.
