100
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:04,400
supposed to have fallen back over to our

101

sewer project
change order number one.

112
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:52,600
And second of Castle Calvin.
Is there any discussion on this?

113
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,360
» Can you briefly remind us again what the
change was?

114
00:07:53,440 --> 00:08:01,120
» So, uh
we had some money left over from the

115
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:05,920
ARPA project um where we're having some
sewer rehab done. Um

116
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:12,280
once they got in here to do the actual
project, uh there was a few places that

117
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:15,600
they saved some money. So,
and

118
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:21,840
once they saved that money, they figured
out how much they had left and uh then I

119
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:28,120
had a price rehabbing the section over
by the fire hall behind the Methodist

120
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,120
Church. And um

121
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:37,280
there wound up being after what we had
left, there was going to be a $20,000,

122
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:41,560
roughly $20,000 difference. And this is
to cover that change order

123
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:46,800
to rehab that section.
So, that'll get eight more houses and

124
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:51,440
the fire hall off of the vacuum sewer
system and swapped over to a gravity

125
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,440
system.

126
00:08:51,800 --> 00:09:00,760
» So, 21, or roughly 21,000, the
the change order is for is what we would

127
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:06,280
be responsible for where our 400,000
come out of the ARPA cuz ARPA funds

128
00:09:02,839 --> 00:09:09,839
» It uh well, it's already allocated uh as
part of that project. So, uh

129
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,480
» Any more discussion on this?
>> It's all right.

130
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,680
» Call the vote, please.
>> John?

131
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,400

unanimous.
And I still haven't turned no mileage

135
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,480
in,
but I will get to that.

136
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,160
Therefore, I'm
