Has the dollar amount been established in which a referendum will need to held?
I'm pretty sure it something higher than $113.2 million.

Was not there fireproofing in the cochran road building already on the steel structure? There is a rumor that fireproofing was removed somewhere because someone thought it was asbestos. Is the board paying to put something back that was already there?

How much of this stuff was deleted from the original bid to bring it in under the cap, but now is being put back as change orders.
$15,000 for a power line to move condensing units from ground to roof. Why weren't the units on the roof designed in, n the first place?
$23,000 to lathe and plaster a 34' x 34' wall in B bldg? That's a lot of wall, no one knew it would be there in the original plan? Or is this a change requested by the district?

9:13 PM, I had heard the same rumor. We should not be paying the $36,228.50.

Hard to believe that this is the same community that became enraged over Marjorie Sabol's $500,00, isn't it?

Ah, now you're all getting it. The school board cheated, plain and simple. For what? For a temple to reflect their ego. Badabadabada...that's all folks. Now it doesn't matter what you do, whether or not the money exists, how many articles appear in Lebo magazine or how much further into debt Posti and the school district mafia put resident--you can't stop the building. So what do you do. Easy: stope the board. There's an election next fall and four of those miscreants are on the block including Jo-Bama, the junior socialist. Time to wake up, people, or risk plunging further into the financial abyss.

Elaine,
Why are the electrical charges still included in the change request totals if the insurance company is reimbursing the SD?

As soon as the amounts have been finalized and we've been reimbursed, I will indicate it on the list. I would think that would show up in a future agenda under change orders.
