on status of construction project. Uni -Cor has submitted a request for
payment on 98% completion. Gary and Don recommended that $1711.00 in change
orders be paid. Since painters were paid $1700.00, this is wiped out.
Recommendation to the Board was that payment application from Uni -Cor be
rejected. We need an update of Uni -Cor's accounts payable. Work hasn't
been completed. Overall completion of the project is in the low 90's.
