He stated the original building <br /> contractor basically wants the City to pay for the failed waterproofing system. Mr. <br /> Scherbel said the mold must be removed due to possible health risks involved which may <br /> occur due to exposure to certain kinds of molds in City Hall. <br /> Mr. Filla said the City was going to increase the amount of the claims due to the recent <br /> discovery of the mold problems, which may become a health issue once the remediation <br /> process begins. He noted the cause of the watcr problems at City Hall were basically <br /> caused by the improper initial and subsequent waterproofing process. He said most of <br /> the damages to City Hall will be expensive to remediate, and that the original arbitration <br /> amounts will be adjusted before the actual hearing. He noted it is imperative that these <br /> issucs bc addressed beforc the hearing. <br /> 2.B TCAAP <br /> Mr. Parrish reported that the TCAAP agcnda items - Development Team Presentation <br /> and Environmental Update was postponed. <br />. <br /> \\Earth\Admin\Council\Minutes\ W orksession \2003 \12- 1 5-03 .doc <br />
