10. IPROGRESS REPORTS (Cont'd each and guaranteed it; but we went the $1,000 cost per vault and one caught up with us. The concurrence on the costs and the guarantees was that the engineers took the right route. Mr. Oesterling stated that they do plan to get together with The Hickey Company and get things finalled out with the Mall contract very shortly- - few overrun items, deductions, etc. and hope to come through with a final contract estimate and change order or whatever is necessary to get it all finalled out. Everything has all been docu- mented and forwarded through all channels. Commissioner Wade expressed concern over the maintenance of the River Bend Plaza and was not pleased with the last two weeks of activities but that it has improved. It was stated that full River Bend Plaza responsibility now rests with the Board of Public Works as it relates to the maintenance of the pools, general clean -up and repair. The major responsibility remaining with the Redevelopment Commission is to final out the project and to approve or deny change orders as they relate to the project. 2) River Bend Plaza Schedule: Mr. Louis N. Wilcox, Director of the River Bend Plaza, stated the interest on the part of the general public cer- tainly remains high on the use and activities of the Plaza. This month, with weather permit- ting, the St. Joseph County Medical Association are still on the Plaza every Tuesday with the blood pressure booths, artists are scheduled for September 21 and 22, and they are very pleased the interest remains as it is and the activities are going on. Mr. Wilcox said the comment made to-him earlier on Wednesday and is of concern to him is one of the items that was pressing - -the fountains were down for three weeks -- compare it to furnace motor replacement in a home- -and that whoever is respon- sible should be given the authority to have spare parts and to not have this situation in the future. 3) Extension of Contract for Director's position of the River Bond Plaza : Mr. Lennon said the Com- missioners had given him approval to negotiate a contract with Mr. Welber of Robertson's for permission to extend his contract with us until the end of the year, same salary and terms.
