Public Works Director Jim Davis informed the Board that this project had been a <br />joint venture between the County and the Water Control District, and explained how, as the <br />construction progressed, there were minor "tweak issues" from both sides. He clarified that <br />anytime the County works in the IRFWCD canal system, we pay the cost, regardless of whether it <br />is before or after the permit is issued. He emphasized that some of the contingencies were <br />previously approved by the Board, and pointed out that most of the monies had been funded by <br />numerous grants, not local tax revenues. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, to approve staff's <br />recommendation. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Wheeler recommended there be an open house <br />after the project is completed so people could see how this system operates, and how much trash is <br />removed from the canal in order to keep the river clean. <br />County Administrator Baird clarified that operating costs are also affiliated with the <br />dollar figure, and mentioned that the facility would have a huge operating cost since staff would be <br />required to maintain it. <br />There was a CONSENSUS to have an open house after the <br />project is completed. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion <br />carried unanimously. The Board approved: (1) Change <br />Order amounts totaling $151,393.59; of this $110,391.00 <br />($70,735 and $39,656) will be added to the project's <br />construction contingency fund to replace an equal amount <br />9 <br />April 8, 2008 <br />
