336 REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 4. 1980 stated that it was his understanding that the contractor would be on the site on Tuesday, and he asked that, if anyone had specific problems at designated locations, they should be referred to John Leszczynski and they would be discussed with the contractor. He indicated that, if future complaints arose, they should be reported to the Board early Monday mornings. In that way, they could be referred to the contractor immediately for proper action. Mr. Floyd Carter, Vice - President of the association, pointed out specific problems at Birdsell and at College. He wondered if the area could be hot - surfaced in an effort to solve the problem of mud in the area. Mr. Moran wondered why it had been so scheduled that the work started and stopped at that point. Mr. McMahon indicated that the bulk of the sewer work was done before the road construction. He explained that work of this nature usually always exceeded over one winter because of the extent of the work. Mr. LeszczynskiL indicated that the completion date was the end of August. Mr. McMahon stated that the state allowed contractors to work over the winter months; however, there could be no way of knowing whether or not the weather would be mild enough to continue construction. He stated that the contractor would follow through on the complaints received in an effort to resolve them, and he indicated that he took exception with Mr. Moran's letter and the comment therein that if the work had been done in some other area of the city, something would have been done to protect the citizens. Upon a motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the correspondence was filed.
