CRACK SEAL: Mr. Moro talked with the Engineering Department and the City's contract has not gone out to bid yet.

Mr. Moro will discuss this with the City's consultant, but it would probably be for next year. E. SPRAYING: Mr. Prickett will be purchasing the chemical and spray next weekend, weather permitting.
