ON THE QUESTION
Sarah Marchant, Division Director
Good evening. Thank you very much. This is a less than $10,000. It actually is just a communications memo
to you. It was a change in survey for the project. It’s unfortunately in an urban environment with 115 abutting
properties. There certainly can be quite a bit of extra research that was found that needed to be done with the
project but we are moving forward and that’s the change.
Mayor Donchess
Any discussion on the change?
