Town" and "Foxy", and the numeral "1". <br />I bring this incident to your attention in order to request your advice -on cor- <br />recting future acts of vandalism and repainting a portion of the tank immediately. <br />Sincerely, � i;js f' 4041' <br />Richard B. Votapka <br />Beindorf and Associates, Inc. <br />DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT VARIOUS WAYS TO PREVENT THIS FROM <br />REOCCURRING. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS NOTED THAT THE TANK ALREADY HAS <br />AN 8' SECURITY FENCE AROUND IT. HE STATED THAT THE ENGINEERS NEED <br />INSTRUCTIONS ON WHETHER TO REPAINT THE TANK, <br />THE BOARD AGREED THAT THE TANK SHOULD BE LEFT AS IT IS AND <br />NOT REPAINTED. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT REPORTED THAT HE HAS RECEIVED AN' <br />INVITATION FROM GULF CONTRACTING, THE PRIME CONTRACTOR FOR,THE 17TH <br />STREET BRIDGE, FOR THE COMMISSIONERS TO MAKE AN INSPECTION TOUR TO <br />SEE THE PROGRESS OF THE BRIDGE. HE NOTED THAT THE PEOPLE WORKING ON <br />THE BRIDGE ARE EXCEPTIONALLY PROUD OF IT. <br />.THE BOARD AGREED THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO ARRANGE A TIME TO <br />MAKE SUCH A TOUR. <br />SEP 2 0 1978 <br />50 <br />BOOK 3PAu-254 <br />
