The finance dir- ector had scored the contract as “contrary to the city’s business practice.” Lester also pointed out that the city charter does not contain any provisions - requiring competitive bidding in letting contracts and in the absence of such a stipulation, the city commission was legaily in the right when they made ‘the deal ‘for the street construction in the Toppino Subdivision. Commissioner Delio Cobo has al- so opposed the deal, asking that bids be called for on the work. Lester went on to say that whe- ther or not the transaction Pas} according to.,] y whieh. may- change from time to gtess legal requirements,” Lester added. In effect, the city attorney said that the city had entered into a legal contract with the construc- tion company.
