Well, they’ve already blown through the original 5% contingency ($105,000) so now, like a losing poker player on tilt, they want to drunkenly re-ante and throw more good money after bad [page 75]:
I hate to say “I told you so” more than a few times WAAAYYY back at the start of this fiasco when it was just a “few minor repairs.”
The only person who’s probably happy about this is Talbert, since it makes everyone forget about HER money wasting for a few hours, at least.
Hey, Finley is still on the City payroll as a “consultant” – maybe he can whip up a report about how this all got so fucked up and then charge the City $2,000 for it!
FYI, the current CONTINGENCY on this thing ($210,000 now) is BIGGER than the ORIGINAL BUDGET of $200,000. LOL. It’ll only take 20 years of renting it out for $10,000 per year to merely get the contingency amount back.
Unbelievable.
