Is there any discussion on this?
[7:50] » Can you briefly remind us again what the
change was?
[7:53] » So, uh
we had some money left over from the
[7:58] ARPA project um where we're having some
sewer rehab done. Um
[8:03] once they got in here to do the actual
project, uh there was a few places that
[8:09] they saved some money. So,
and
[8:13] once they saved that money, they figured
out how much they had left and uh then I
[8:18] had a price rehabbing the section over
by the fire hall behind the Methodist
[8:24] Church. And um
[8:28] there wound up being after what we had
left, there was going to be a $20,000,
[8:33] roughly $20,000 difference. And this is
to cover that change order
[8:39] to rehab that section.
So, that'll get eight more houses and
[8:44] the fire hall off of the vacuum sewer
system and swapped over to a gravity
[8:48] system.
[8:51] » So, 21, or roughly 21,000, the
the change order is for is what we would
[8:58] be responsible for where our 400,000
come out of the ARPA cuz ARPA funds
[9:02] » It uh well, it's already allocated uh as
part of that project. So, uh
[9:12] » Any more discussion on this?
>> It's all right.
[9:15] » Call the vote, please.
>> John?
[9:17] » Yes.
>> Albert?
[9:18] » Yes.
>> Horace?
[9:20] » Yes.
>> The clerk will record the vote as
[9:22] unanimous.
And I still haven't turned no mileage
[9:26] in,

[9:29] Therefore, I'm
So, next item is
