CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF WATER AND SEWER PROJECT ON DARDEN ROAD
District Chairman Caster stated that the Board received updates from staff at the January 10, 2005, January 24,
2005, and February 7, 2005 meetings concerning problems with the water and sewer project on Darden Road. He
requested an update from County Engineer Greg Thompson.
County Engineer Thompson reported that the County is in constant contact with the surety company. The surety
company is in the process of reviewing the three bids that were submitted and has requested additional information from
the County, which has been provided. The surety agent was hoping to have a decision on the bid selection today. Once
this decision has been made, the surety company will issue a check to the County and the County will then enter into
a contract with the contractor directly. The County will then assume responsibility of the new contract.
After brief discussion, the Board directed Staff to write a letter to the surety company requesting a resolution
to this issue within a specified time period.
Jon Mason, the developer of the White Oak Apartments, stated his objection to waiting any longer for the
completion of the project and suggested the County do whatever is necessary to finish the project as soon as possible.

District Chairman Caster called for a motion to adjourn the meeting.
Motion:
District Vice-Chairman Kopp MOVED, SECONDED by District Chairman Caster, to adjourn the meeting.
