The Committee discussed and elected to defer action on the release of a similar retainer for Marra Construction for the Worton Park project until a request for same is received from the contractor. An informal release will be considered at the ne.ct Council caucus. 6. The Committee discussed the final payment of $13,699.25 to Panzica Construction Company inasmuch as the Fire Station has been completed and the lien placed on the structure by the Carpenters' Union has been removed. It was felt by some committee members and the Fire Chief that the fmal payment should not be sent until such time that there is written acknowledgment by Panzica that there are problems with the cracks in the concrete and that these will be addressed when they become more significant. The committee will recommend to Council that the final payment issued contingent on such a written acknowledgment. 7. The Committee discussed the White Road project and it was the general consensus of the Committee that the Village should not proceed on this project given the position taken by the City of Willoughby Hills and the fact that the sewer work on the road has not commenced. It is the general belief of the Committee that this project is dead for 1996. 8. The Committee discussed and will recommend the Village proceed with awarding the coniract for the Wilson Mills Traff c Improvement project to Noce Construction and take whatever steps are necessary to start the project. 9. The Committee discussed the pumper bids and aclrnowledged receipt of the Fire Chief's memorandum regarding the same. It was the general consensus of inembers that the item should be thoroughly discussed prior to a final decision and that a final decision might be made at the Council caucus and formalized at the November council meeting. Depending on when the bids espired; some amangement such as an emergency meeting might be made to facilitate a timely decision. 10. The Committee heard a request from the Service Director for authorization for $3,300 in concrete work at two locations in the V'illage with the cost of one of the jobs (about 2/3 of the total cost) ultimately to be reimbursed by the Cleveland DeparUment of Water.
