reported that the Courthouse plans are not complete, but that they will
be finished shortly and he will hand carry them to Olympia by the grant
application deadline on Monday, 4/27/81. The Board reviewed the plans
presented. Mr. Johnston also brought up the matter of his billing for
the Community Center plans. The contract is for 9% of the construction
cost, with a clause calling for additional payment for changes requested
in the plans. The projected construction cost has fluctuated from $133,000
to $186,000 due to changes in the design as requested by community members
and the Board. In order to stay within the amount allocated for the
addition, the plans have been finalized at $133,000. However, the approved
plans at the time Mr. Johnston began billing were at $160,000. Mr.
Johnston asked the Board to decide whether they want him to continue billing
on the basis of $160,000, with no separate charges for the changes already
made, which would produce a total bill of approximately $14,370 or whether
they want him to correct the billing to 9% of $133,000 ($11,970) plus
additional charges for changes (approximately $2,400), which would produce
a total bill of approximately $14,417 through 3/21/81. The Board agreed to
discuss the two alternatives and notify Mr. Johnston of their decision.

on DNR activit1es in Jefferson County during the past year.
