e. IBUSINESS (Cont'd) Mr. Kevin J. Butler said, "I think that Mr.'Soltesz's point here is that in the future we will have to.get a handle on these pools, because they are 'DAMN' costly.::'.They are too costly to operate and maintain." Commissioner Wiggins said, "We want to.be sure that we don't continue to:make the''same boo- boo's' and pay the same price over and over again. I don't think that anyone can quarrel with that. The Chair requested a motion for the payment for this work that has been done. Mr. Chenney made'the motion that this bill be allowed and paid to Colip's (The bill has not been submitted; the amount quoted by Mr. Slabaugh i's: $2,600.00). Motion was seconded by Mr. Wiggins and carried.` The response to the Chair's, "Any further questions ? ", Mr. Gene Evans stated he was curious as to why this was not pre - sented as a Change Order to the Contract, since it is an active contract. Mr. Wiggins said it is not a change order it is for additional work that was not in the specifications. Mr. Chenney said it was installed according to the original specifications and we found out that it didn't work, that moisture got in there and it shorted out. Mr. 'Brownell said, "I don't believe it is any part of the contract. Mr. Evans then asked, "It is out of the funds that would normally pay for the contracts? Commissioners Chenney and Wiggins replied, "No. Mr. Wiggins said this is actually maintenance to a degree in that they had to undue the water damage. The Chair said the motion is that this be allowed and ordered to be paid and with no further discussions, the motion is made and carried. Mr. Slabaugh requested from the Chair he be permitted to answer to one point. "The material that Mr. Soltesz used, I did the same things. I used hydrochloric acid; he used hydrochloric acid; and it snowballed. 15% hydrogen chloride - -it's hydrochloric acid; muriatic. acid. Muriati,c acid eats up..." At this point, Mr. Soltesz interrupted!Mr. Slabaugh, and said, "That's not right:: Hydrochloric is not muriatic acid, Mr. Slabaugh, just for the clarification of the records." Mr. Slabaugh's response was, "Well, according to a little 'geology book' that I have; it is. Muriatic acid is a common name and hydrochloric acid is specific. At any rate, we used this material that you are using, and if it seeps down on the concrete, it is going to eat the concrete out." Some asked, "They do ?" and Mr. Slabaugh answered, "Yes."
