Here. Can we stand for a moment of silent prayer followed by a pledge of allegiance?
Stephanie Pickinpah. We have a proclamation that reads, whereas domestic violence is a serious crime that impacts people of every race, age, income level, and lifestyle, and is likely affecting someone you know, whereas one in three women and one in nine men will experience violence in their lifetime, Domestic violence violates basic human rights by stripping away dignity, security, and self-worth through physical, emotional, sexual, psychological, and economic abuse. Whereas Safe Place works every day to end their acts of violence and help survivors rebuild their lives. Whereas in Siouxland,…

Yes okay yeah unless something breaks or while we're there okay thank you yep he is a resolution approving amendment number one to the service provider agreement with jci industry repair of the Floyd Lift station pump and providing for additional COMPLETION time app is a resolution approving number one to the service provider agreement with jci industries for the repair of two vertical pump motors and providing for additional completion time. You know, when we bid those, they said there would be additional costs, I believe, if I remember right. How do you ever control these? I mean, every one…
I'm not questioning where we need to do the work. I'm questioning why we don't have a better handle on what the costs are going in so the change orders aren't. Tom, when you look at 10E, the change order is 200% of the original contract cost.
I understand that and I'm not asking, I'm not upset about it. I'm asking a question. It seems like every one change order is a significant increase. So those guys should have a better idea what's wrong with the pump, but we're probably not doing that phase. We're just putting it out to fix our pump. Did these guys come in and look at the pump and try to determine what was wrong? That's all I'm asking. Are we doing any investigative work before we bid it? That's all.
Oh, you can do it later. You don't have to do it today, but I'm just curious.
