City of Centerville <br />City Council Meeting <br />January 14, 2009 <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers stated that the City Council needs to come up with a <br />number. She understands that 20 weeks X 12 extra hours X 88 = $21,280. She indicated <br />she does not understand the number Councilmember Fehrenbacher proposed. <br />Councilmember Fehrenbacher replied that he had added 256 hours to the 189 extra hours. <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers stated that Bonestroo came to the City in September <br />2008, and the City did not tell them to stop at that time. Therefore, half of the expense <br />occurred after the City could have stopped it. She added that she would support an <br />additional payment of $16,632. <br />Mayor Capra stated that the City made a decision not to hire a Building Inspector until <br />August. At the time the storm hit, it was chaos. The work had to be done, because the <br />contractor made a lot of mistakes. Mayor Capra agreed with Councilmember Broussard <br />Vickers and would support approval of an additional payment to Bonestroo of $16,632. <br />Councilmember Lee stated that there are lessons to be learned here. He stated that he <br />supports approval of an additional payment to Bonestroo of $16,632. <br />Councilmember Fehrenbacher stated that he continues to have an issue. <br />Mayor Capra replied that Bonestroo continued in a good faith effort. She inquired about <br />how much the City should penalize them, when the City Staff could have caught it. <br />City Engineer Statz pointed out that there were four tasks completed, and this discussion <br />only covers the hours associated with one task. He indicated that, since no specific hours <br />were quoted for the other tasks, Bonestroo has absorbed any additional expense necessary <br />to complete them. <br />Motion made by Councilmember Broussard Vickers, seconded by Mayor Capra, to <br />approve an additional payment of $16,632 to Bonestroo for the additional hours spent on <br />inspections for the CSAH 14 Improvements in 2008.
