	why wood we want our city manager to enter into ANY contract for widening ANY road in this town. Have we forgotten the last time she did a contract for street work. Cost us hundreds of thousands extra because she doesn't know how to negotiate a contract. Leave it to the engineers that actually know what questions to ask and what to look for in negotiations.
