8. PROGRESS REPORTS (Cont'd) Park F roject, to finalize the 45 complaints filed with us on thE LaSalle Park Project. The results have been developed on a (ase-by-case basis with Mr. Ivory present. We will contact each contractor who has the responsibility to make the necessary repairs and give them a period of time to make the decision as to whether they will do the repairs or whether we take legal actin . We must give the responsible contractors a reasonable amount of time to respond. We hope to have these all completed by November 15th - -that is our time schedule. In answer to Mr. Marchelewicz's question, Mr. Lennon said some- thing needs to be done on all 45 complaints -- whether it is the responsibility of the contractor or the home owner. This has been established and the contractors are noted on the report. These reports are available in our office to anyone who may want o go over these in detail. This does not cover ordinary wear and tear. Mrs. Janet S. Allen questioned if this type of problem in the rehabilitation areas could occur again? The response by Messrs. Lennon and Helmen was that the schedule now developed with Mr. William C. Ellison in charge and responsible for follow -up will prevent a recurrence of this sort. b. Sculpture for Mall: Mrs. Allen also questioned the art work and sculpture concepts of the Mall. Mr. Lennon reiterated that it was the wish of the Commission and himself that local artists be involved, and that when the recomm ndations and time schedule from Mr. Phil Simonds, our Consul ing Engineer, arrives, it will be shared with Mrs. Greenh t, who is serving as the coordinator for the local artist .
