Approval of Minutes April 21, 2010: While a quorum was present for the May meeting, the Commission members that were in attendance did not represent the quorum of members that were present at the April 21, 2010 meeting.

[Mr. Worrell, Mr. Crowley and Mr. Carter were in attendance at the April 21, 2010 meeting]. April 27, 2010: Mr. Carter requested these minutes also be approved at the June 16, 2010 CRC meeting due to the same reasoning as the April 21 meeting minutes.

Mr. Cleveland requested the Commission's approval to pay invoices for the CRC General Fund in the amount of $465,880.03. Mr. Hammer moved to approve CRC General Fund claims as submitted. Seconded by Ms. Anker and passed unanimously. Mr. Cleveland requested the approval of PAC invoices for regular construction in the amount of $3,369,154.36. Ms. Anker requested comment on the Palladium inspection with vendor Don R. Scheidt Co. Mr. Olds stated the vendor was providing the appraisal of the Palladium as required by legal counsel. Mr. Hammer moved to approve expenditures in the PAC Construction fund, seconded by Mr. Crowley. Passed unanimously. Mr. Cleveland requested approval from the Commission to pay PAC invoices for emergency repair for $15,523.74. Mr. Crowley requested an update on the emergency repair. Mr. Olds stated this should represent the last of the items necessary for repair of the dome. Additionally, CRC counsel is in the process of working to resolve the delayed claims submitted by the prime trade contractors on the project. The goal is to resolve the issue by the end of the year. Discussion ensued with Mr. Olds confirming that the Commission is in line for reimbursement of costs expended. Ms. Anker asked for an estimate on cost of the emergency repair. A rough estimate for repair of the roof is approximately $3million. Mr. Carter clarified for home viewers that emergency repairs are the repairs that had to take place in order to get contractors to move forward and back on the job as quickly as possible. This has resulted in CRC expending funds from their cash flow to pay for repairs, inspection and consulting engineers needed to assess the situation. All CRC dollars expended as well as the delay /damage claims submitted are costs the Commission will expect to be reimbursed from the insurance carriers of those who are responsible for the problem. Mr. Hammer moved to approve invoices in regards to the emergency repair, seconded by Mr. Crowley and passed unanimously. Committee Reports No updates were provided.
