5. OLD 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont'd Further, Mr. Soltesz said, "As we are talking about 'workmanlike manner' I would hope that Mr. Simonds would want again to re- create the aesthetics, because we are talking about workmanlike procedures or sawcutting out--something I am familiar with - -if that takes away from the aesthetics that were planned by the designers, I would hope they would replace that same theme on aesthetics that was displayed here when the program was sold to us here in the City. The question on the proper procedure to take, requested by the Chair, Commissioner Wiggins responded, "Mr. Oesterling here stated to us their concern about a problem and the approach they had to it. It is largely informational, at this point, and I would suggest, because as of right now, I don't agree to the proposal that has been made. I don't think it will answer the problem, and I would suggest, at least, that they go back and take another look at it, and tell us- -after you look again - -if this is still what ought to be done. You are kind of treading on razor edge here, because to one degree you are our expertise, a person who is representing.us and'our interest, and at the same time you are also involved. Being a man of some stature, I believe you can handle it." Mr. Oesterling said they are involved to the extent that Clyde E. Williams as the joint venturer is involved to the extent of being responsible to the approval of their recommendations to the Commission, for the approval of correction methods. They tend to think the company is responsible and the contractor has a contract and they guarantee their work. Commissioner Wiggins said he agrees, "but that somebody had to agree that that method was acceptable. It didn't work to the extent that we have the problem that is highly visible and exists, and if every- thing worked right, it wouldn't be there. Those are things we can't avoid. So what we want to do now is to make sure we remedy the de- fect and that we don't create three more problems with the solution to the one problem." Mr. Oesterling agreed that is true, but, of course, the maintenance agreement will continue on, even with the repair. It wasn't satisfactory to begin with. It will still be under warranty, under our agreement, but that we don't want that to happen. BUSINESS a.
