City Engineer Shawn Napier brought the Council's attention to a couple of handouts and explained that Change Order No. 1 amounted to $47,000 and Change Order No. 2 amounted to $10,000, but that there would be no addition to the amount of the contract because the contingency fund provided for in the contract to off-set any unforeseen items.

Councilwoman Neeley reiterated that the City would not be spending any more money, which was confirmed by City Engineer Napier. Councilman Bell asked ' why the 45 day delay. Mr. Napier explained that a section of pipe they had installed failed and that had to be taken care of.
