Material was softer – mulch and organic material - Ran across old sewer treatment plant – knew it was there but did not know the full extent of how things were closed. - Were running into concrete tanks and walls. No additional cost - Found a large chlorine mixing tank that had a hole in one corner of it – over ten feet deep and full of ground water - Recommending cover of tank be removed, drained and filled with clean fill material - Project has now come to a halt - Wanted to have ground water tested which caused another week’s delay - Trying to get cheaper fill from Pederson’s Marina - Need 1,000 – 1,500 cubic yards of dredge material - Work is now delayed six weeks or so. Then will move into Phase II – set up to be a 90-day contract period. Working with Excel and BDA program to try and get funding for the fill on the Western end of the project to raise the grade. All openings and piping in the tank need to be found. Would like to focus on Phase I before focusing on Phase II. Then parking will be available. Don’t know what will be found as the tank is abandoned. New completion date is end of September beginning of October. Mr. Kovacs asked how long ago public hearing was; two years. Mr. Kovacs expressed his unhappiness with the fact that it took this long for the engineers to find this out. Was core-testing done on that site; no.
