Commission Minutes--October 3, 2005 2987 Since the county commission adopted an ordinance to facilitate the construction and financing of the vector control building, Mr. Vanyo asked if there are consequences to approving the change orders since the project was approved not to exceed $1,000,000. Mr. Montplaisir said there would be money left in the project contingency fund after paying the change orders. Mr. Jenni said the architect typically does not charge a fee on change orders, as will be the case in this instance. MOTION, passed Mr. Bennett moved and Mr. Wagner seconded to approve Change Order E-2 and M-1 on the Vector Control building contract in the amounts of $14,747 and $15,062 respectively. Discussion: Mr. Pawluk inquired about the possibility of any future change orders before the building is completed, and Mr. Berndt said he is cautiously optimistic that no other changes will be needed. At the call for the question and on roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 15.
