I have uploaded the podcast to tonight's meeting. David Huston called to let me know that a change order was slid in tonight and was a new agenda item. It did not appear on today's agenda. The agenda item was Change Order #GC63-131 to Nello Construction - Winterization for $150,000.
Please go to the 20:26 mark on the Lebo Citizens podcast and listen to Mr. Huston ask Elaine Cappucci about the new agenda item. Elaine explained that last month's winterization change order for $75,000, of which Dan Remely went ballistic over, was their first good faith offer to Nello Construction. Since then (somewhere between last Friday and today since the agenda did not show this), they negotiated another $150,000 for a total of $225,000.
Resident Bruce Slater was also upset about this latest move by the school board. Last week, only four change orders were discussed and this was not one of them.
