MR. KONTOULAS NOTED THAT WE WOULD GET CREDIT FOR ELIMINATING THE PAINTING. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE BOARD ALREADY HAS APPROVED CHANGE ORDER #4, AND CHAIRMAN LYONS POINTED OUT THAT THIS VISIT WAS MADE BECAUSE THE BOARD WANTED TO BE SURE WHETHER THEY WANTED TO RETRACT ON CHANGE ORDER #4. HE STATED THAT UNLESS HE HEARS SOMETHING TO THE CONTRARY, HE WOULD GO ALONG WITH CHANGE ORDER #4. ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED IF CHANGE ORDER #4 INCLUDED PAINTING, AND MR. KONTOULAS STATED IT DOES, BUT NOTED THAT CHANGE ORDER PROPOSAL #16B GIVES CREDIT FOR NOT PAINTING. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT THERE IS DROPPED CEILING TO BE PUT IN AND THE CEILING MAN IS WORKING.NOW AND ABOUT READY TO START IN THIS AREA. CHAIRMAN LYONS FELT IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO PAINT, THEN WE OUGHT TO MAKE IT A CONDITION OF THE CHANGE ORDER #4, WHICH WAS JUST APPROVED BECAUSE IN THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS IT CAN T COME BACK TO THE BOARD AGAIN BEFORE THEY MAKE THEIR NEXT MOVE. HE ASKED MR. KONTOULAS IF THERE WILL BE PAINT ON THE WALLS WHEN THEY ARE THROUGH WITH CHANGE ORDER #4, AND MR. KONTOULAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WOULD.
