The M&C requests an additional $12,580 for the development of a trench safety system. The change is necessary for compliance with a recently-passed state law which requires a trench safety system to be included in the engineering design.

City Manager Douglas Harman indicated that Council will receive a staff report on trench safety sometime in the near future. • V. CITIZEN PRESENTATIONS A.
