MR. KONTOULAS REFERRED TO A LETTER WRITTEN BY THE ARCHITECT TO THE CONTRACTOR STATING THERE ARE FIFTEEN DAYS REMAINING IN THE CONTRACT FOR COMPLETING THE COURTHOUSE, WHICH WILL END FEBRUARY 2110TH, INCLUDING 20 DAYS' EXTENSION. MR. KONTOULAS STATED THE REASON HE REFERRED TO THIS LETTER IS THAT THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS INVOLVED THAT ARE PERTINENT TO OCCUPYING THE BUILDING. HE REPORTED THAT HE HAS A LETTER FROM THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT STATING THAT BY CODE THEY CAN PARTIALLY ISSUE TEMPORARY CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY, AND THIS, OF COURSE, WOULD ENTAIL MOVING PERSONNEL. MR. KONTOULAS DID NOT BELIEVE THAT THE FEBRUARY 24TH DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION OF THE COURTHOUSE WILL BE MET, HE CONTINUED THAT THE PAINTING OF THE INTERIOR IS CONTROVER- SIAL; THE CARPETS ARE THE WRONG QUALITY AND COLOR; THE MILLWORK FOR COURTROOM FURNISHINGS HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED; LANDSCAPING WAS STARTED AND HAD TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE OF CLEANING THE EXTERIOR OF THE ANNEX; THE BRICK FOR PAVING THE WALKS HAS BEEN SITTING THERE FOR TWO WEEKS; AND TESTING NEEDS TO BE DONE, MR. KONTOULAS FELT THAT SOMETIME IN MARCH WE WILL BE IN THE COURTHOUSE ON A TEMPORARY BASIS. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON COMMENTED THAT THEY HAVE GIVEN THE COURT ADMINISTRATOR A TENTATIVE DATE OF APRIL 6TH FOR COURT TO BE HELD. MR. KONTOULAS NOTED THAT SOME TIME AGO, THE BOARD AUTHORIZED THE ADMINISTRATOR TO SIGN ANY CHANGE ORDERS UP TO $2,500, AND IN ORDER TO SAVE HIS TIME AND AVOID WAITING AT THE BOARD MEETINGS FOR HOURS, HE WONDERED IF HE COULD PRESENT SUCH SMALL CHANGE ORDERS TO MR. NELSON FOR SIGNATURE, COMMISSIONER WODTKE FELT THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR COULD BRING SUCH CHANGE ORDER RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD AND MAKE THE PRESENTA- TION RATHER THAN MR. KONTOULAS, AND THE BOARD CONCURRED, ADMINISTRATOR NELSON REVIEWED HIS MEMO REGARDING POLICING OF COLLECTOR TRANSFER SITES, AS FOLLOWS: F.E B 11181 51 BQO 45 , PAtE C}•
