Rescue League, urged Council to pass the ordinance. Ms. Gottlieb stated the ordinance protects
animals, proactively stops stores in nearby municipalities from relocating in North Palm Beach,

Mr. Kelly reported on bids received for the reroof of the Library and Public Works Complex and
recommended that Council accept the lowest bid of $175,680 from Roofing Concepts Unlimited.
Mr. Kelly advised that the contractor had requested amending Article 2, "Period of Service," ¶A,
to change the time of completion from 30 calendar days to 45 business days, as completion could
be delayed due to weather or the time needed to obtain the manufacturer's warranty.
Discussion took place concerning the requested amendment to extend the period of service, as
well as the bid bond, liquidated damages, and payment process. Public Works Director Brian Moree
discussed the manufacturer's warranty required by the Village. Mr. Moree reviewed the
payment process. Discussion ensued regarding rebidding the project. Mr. Rubin stated the Village
could request bids on price and time to complete the project, which would allow consideration of
both factors in awarding the bid.
Discussion was held regarding altering the Library roof to appear more like the roof on the
Village Hall building.
Thereafter, a motion was made by Councilman Manuel, seconded by Councilman Bush, and
passed unanimously, to table the proposed resolution.
