Agenda: Sibley Terrace 1) The Director updated the Board on the new project. The project is ahead of schedule by one week. The four-plex is being constructed and the roofs are on the duplex units,with interior work beginning. Colors for exteriors have been selected. Windows will arrive next week. Discussion of the garbage dumpster. The site was selected. The cabinets have been ordered and appliances. Long discussion regarding Change Order#1,which would allow Norson to charge an additional amount from the original contract, of$8,217.47,with the HRA paying one-half of that now and the other half being paid if there is any contingency dollars left at the completion of the project. The Board was very concerned about this change order. Discussion centered on the lack of support from the architect for HRA's position—and that the HRA is not liable for the added contract amount. Final resolution was that the Director should inform the architect and Norson that the HRA would be willing to compromise only to the point of paying the initial $4,108.73, and would not accept number#3, second page, of the Change Order,which states the balance($4,108.73)would be paid out of any contingency left. All other change orders were reviewed and accepted. Motion by Teie, S/Youngberg. All ayes. Motion carried. 2) Work has begun on the Kiser property,by Wickham Builders. CMHP will be reviewing the work as it progresses.
