“We started with the, I guess, the community center with the elevator, and they came before us. You weren't here at the time, but we came before us, and they said, hey, listen, we've got to get rid of, I think it was Schindler we had as a contractor who put it in. They're not doing the job, blah, blah, blah. We've got a new contractor, and they'll take care of everything. They'll warrant it. We have a guarantee, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Next thing I remember, we had another work order. You know what? They weren't doing it. We had to get somebody else to do it. I think they did it on an…”

“So my question now is, now we're getting another contractor to do this, and what are they warranting, and what will they do, and what will they charge us? Is it a flat monthly fee, or is it just for time when they come to work?”

“So basically there's no parts and labor involved in repairs?”

“And my question then is, can you get a service contract for parts and labor to be included That's not how the industry works. Really? Okay. So the ones I've gotten, they don't work that way. I have to tell them the contracts I've got are all wrong. You're screwing me up. You shouldn't do that for me. That's bullshit.”

“They all wanted a percentage markup on the parts. I'm not saying the 1%. Listen, I'm talking about a contract that says for so much a month, they will take care of it. Service calls, either you wanted working hours, you wanted 24 hours, a different charge. You're saying that doesn't exist.”

“Ed. My only question on this is how will this affect us moving forward with the storm sewer installation, design installation? Is this going to delay things? If so, how long will it delay things?”

“I would like to just amend this, if you call it amend or parse, take it apart. and say that the, as brought up tonight by Brett about the, what do you call it, the stamped asphalt, at this point in time, I see that's part of the contract, 200 and some thousand, go forward with everything else and we take a final decision on that. In other words, take that out of the contract today until we advise them that that's what we want.”

“or to provide for this as an allowance. We would do the contract and have a change order if we decide we don't want to do this. Because this is the last thing that's going to happen, not the first thing, correct?”

“No, this is the first thing that's going to happen. Before the milling. The circles are the first thing they're going to start milling. Yes. You're going to put the stamped concrete down?”

“Listen, I have no problem doing it. The question is, if what Brett is telling you, it all came up, why do we want to do something that's been unsuccessful somewhere else? Right.”

“I'm just. No, I agree with you. I'm not disagreeing. Okay. I'm just saying that. I think it brought up that the bricks have been there for 20 years. They're not maintained. They're not maintained now. I don't know how many times I've talked to you. Anybody that drives down Harbor Drive, it's just horrible, okay? Well, we're also not going to have buses. Sorry? We're not going to have buses. No, but we haven't had buses for a while. It's still horrible.”

“Whatever we have, the point being is it's not being maintained. No. So the question is, can we maintain bricks? with our maintenance department where we have to basically subcontract out maintenance. What's your issue with doing this?”
Village Council · Aug 25, 2026

“I'm proposing either we do the bricks and do them properly or do something else, that's all.”

“This is an aesthetic sport. You mentioned something else, Chris, about settlement, which makes me remember now, maybe you remember, we had an engineering firm which designed all the circles with all the pavers and everything else. And at the time, Gene Santiago was our the chief building official, and we had a requirement here of 5,000 PSI concrete for everything, and at that point in time, these guys used 2,500 pounds, I remember. So actually, they came for another job and we brought that up so we didn't start using them. Now I don't know if in fact, I don't know what kind of mesh or…”

“Again, I don't know if you, and I don't want to say move everything up, but same token, I know it wasn't done according to what our building official, the way he wanted it done, and I know we stopped using the engineering firm again.”

“I think we just had a solution. Sign this contract and then we want to change order. Okay. Quickly and say, and then don't come back to us with a price buyer. Beware. They're going to hate you. Move forward.”
