5. ODD BUSINESS (Cont'd Mall, which assures the necessary maintenance work, which is the responsibility of The Hickey Company. The work will be done but he requested the Commissioners recon- sider the withholding of the 7% retainage. Commissioner Wiggins said the problem is not directly with The Hickey Company as much as with the subcontractors, who are under The Hickey Company. The feeling at the last Commission meeting was to get maximum pressure as we want action as rapidly as possible, and we can only get this through the general contractor. Pool "D ", in front of Dainty Maid, breakdown was a result of a penney that got lodged in the filter pump and caused a bent motor shaft. Ideal Consolidated removed the pump, which is presently being repaired and the motor will be ready next week, per Mr. Zackrocki. Pool "B ", west at the old post office, has a faulty pump. Yesterday it was working and all equipment in- stalled. One of the Pool "B was handled under a change order, and they did not order the equipment until they were given authorization to proceed on Pool "B." The traffic signal on Western Avenue was also on a change order, per Mr. Zackrocki. The problem of the Mooney sculpture was also a result of a change order and the equipment was not ordered until a change order was authorized to get the equipment on the way. President Nimtz said that apparently something is faulty with the design if a penney was able to slide under the: screen. If the water to be recycled is below the floor level or at the floor level, the recycling should be different so penney's cannot damage the pool. Mr. Zack - rocki said that penneys are supposed to be thrown in the pools. President Nimtz said then perhaps it is not de- signed correctly. Mr. Zackrock advised the subcontractor put in what was called for in the contract and it was installed correctly. President Nimtz asked who is actually responsible for the design? Commissioner Chenney said the subcontractor put in what was called for and it was put in correctly. Mr. Tom Oesterling, with Clyde E. Williams as the joint venture representative, said that on the pump and penney concern, there are adequate screens and filters, and that his understanding was that in cleaning one of the screens that not enough precaution was taken by the clean- ing crew and that the penney slipped behind. It is a pre- caution one must take in cleaning. Mr. Zackrocki said it was one of the precautionary measures specified in their letter. Relative to Commissioner Wiggins'question if the specifi- cations include any water treatment, Mr. Oesterling replied, "No, with the exception of the maintenance manual that came with the equipment on how it is to be cleaned."
