On November 02, 2010, the Commission approved Resolution No. 2786 for Sinco's acquisition and relocation. At this time, the owner of Sinco did his best to estimate his relocation costs. Since that time, unexpected costs have accumulated. While going through the process of getting the needed permits for their relocation, the Fire Department raised issues with the chemicals used by Sinco. Because the Department could not explicitly tell Sinco what issues needed to be dealt with, Sinco had to hire an outside firm to sort through State and Local regulations. In addition, Sinco had to install additional items not originally planned, including fire suppression and monitoring equipment. These requirements cost Sinco an additional $6,884 in extra costs, which was approved by the Commission on May 10, 2011. Since that time, Sinco has been working with the Fire Department to satisfy their concerns. As things progressed, the Fire Department identified additional items, thereby causing Sinco to incur even more costs. Sinco now has an occupancy permit, but is requesting an additional $3,562.50 for three items; an additional $3,112.50 for two professional services, and $450 for additional computer services. Under our relocation policy, these costs would have been included in the amount paid. Staff believes Sinco put forth their best efforts in estimating the amount needed to relocate, and requests approval of this final, additional cost. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
