This is regarding a mechanical permit at the Solaris. From: Tom Kassmel Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 9:55 AM To: Martin Haeberle; David Rhoades Cc: George Ruther Subject: Solaris Mechancal Permit Fee I am going to meet with Weitz /Solaris to discuss the mechanical permit fee of $8754.00. There are obviously many sides to the story due to the fact that the work is for public improvements and it may take a week or so to resolve. I would like to request that the permit be issued and inspections be made, so that the boilers can get operational before winter really hits. We currently have a Bond for all of the incomplete work which includes the boiler room. We are comfortable holding back the $8754 if need be if no resolution is come to.
