Janice seconded <br /> the motion. <br /> Discussion: when discussing the outdoor lighting, it should read they measured form the ten year <br /> line,not the I yard line. <br /> ** All members were in favor 5-0** <br /> BUDGET REVIEW <br /> Jim explained the budget presented today reflects all bills being paid at today's meeting. <br /> The bottom line is claims against PA Landers- $72,995. We will hold that much back from <br /> them. <br /> They still have work to do on the baseball fields. <br /> Handicap violations: SMMA has prepared a bid package for the work which needs to be done <br /> and will put that out to bid, along with the masonry work around the windows which needs to be <br /> done. They expect each to come in under $25,000. <br /> Janice asked if these violations occurred because of new rules since the design of the building? <br /> Jim explained some things we knew Stone had installed wrong, and we had hoped we would not <br /> have to do the work but we do: missing curb cuts, slopes, add a sidewalk from the back parking <br /> lot to the ballfields, cut the guard rails. <br /> Paul said we did ask for exemptions on items and got it for some. <br /> Jim explained we will remove the sidewalk in front of the building because we would have to <br /> move irrigation and lights so it is easier to must remove the sidewalk instead. <br /> Paul explained the second package is to fix the cracked masonry around the windows. Only <br /> some are cracked but we will fix them all because we don't want more to crack in the future <br /> with no money to fix it. <br /> Janice asked who is at fault in this case. Will we go after someone? <br /> Paul believes SMMA should have foreseen the issue,they disagree. Paul needs to get another <br /> opinion. Stone says they have a written report from a structural engineering firm saying the <br /> footings settled, causing the cracks. Neither Stone nor the engineering firm could produce the <br /> report. <br /> Paul said if the footings settled,there would be interior cracking also. <br /> Janice is concerned about paying $25,000 to fix it. <br /> Paul said he is pursuing it. There are some issue we took in the settlement with Stone,that are <br /> all rolled into one lump some. He thinks the engineer should have foreseen it. <br /> 1 <br />
