COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT HE WAS PRESENT AT A MEETING WITH THE ARCHITECT AND CONTRACTOR AND THOUGHT HE HAD DEMONSTRATED THAT THE BOARD IS NOT INTERESTED IN DISCUSSING HOW MUCH IT WAS GOING TO COST BECAUSE THEY WERE LATE - JUST WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO DO IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON FELT THE CHANGE PROPOSALS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND THEREFORE, THE ARCHITECT'S TIME IN VERO BEACH HAS BEEN REDUCED TO ONE DAY PER WEEK, WHICH IS A COST SAVINGS. MR.
