[200William-EC SP67851] [200William-BU] Marquis Renovation project

[Rob Willett]

Thanks for the update Rowan and the work you and the team have put in is much appreciated. 

To be honest, to save this becoming a roadblock, I would be happy to go with your recommendations. 

i.e.; the sub-committee agree on a cost and a design, present the agreed design to the EC for sign-off and go for it. 

You’re interest in improving the status of the building is the same as the EC’s so I can see no issues with what you guys are doing. 

Every one has different tastes. My opinion is that we have entrusted you guys to come up with a plan, and you’re doing that. So you and the sub-committee are better informed than all of us. 

Once again, thanks for the efforts and expertise in making this happen.
