>>     Hi Cathy & Committee,
>>
>>     I have spoken to the Engineers yesterday and received the
>>     attached update today from their site inspection with the
>>     contractor, Preservation Technologies, who have been on site 3
>>     times in the last 3 weeks.
>>
>>     While I understand your frustration as you would like the rooftop

>>     return to site until all variations were approved, which occurred
>>     on 23^rd October 2017.
>>
>>     The contractors are due to recommence work on the planter boxes
>>     next week and I have requested an updated schedule and requested
>>     to be advised when the rooftop rectification would be fully
>>     completed.
>>
>>     In the attached minutes there are some details and further
>>     request for approval of additional items, detailed below –
>>
>>       * 1.2 – To approve a variation on the BBQ area services which
>>         are required to be redirected. The recommendation is for
>>         Option 1 @ $1,650.00 + GST. Please confirm approval for this
>>         variation?
>>
>>       * 1.3 – Waterproofing of the BBQ Area – As the only way to
>>         remove the BBQ area is by special resolution at a General
>>         Meeting, the Engineers have advised Option 1 is the
>>         recommended option, with a price TBA early next week, with
>>         the waterproofing to be fully warranted with this option.
>>
>>       * The plants in the planter box and those that have been
>>         removed are dying and need to be removed off site. Cathy has
>>         offered to organise removal or Preservation Technologies can
>>         do so at an additional price. Can you please advise how you
>>         would like to organise removal of the plants and if you are
>>         happy for the soil to be removed and if agreed stored in the
>>         garage area?
>>
>>     To answer your question, Cathy about payments made to
>>     Preservation Technologies, there has only been the initial
>>     payment of $53,668.10 Incl. GST and no other payments have been made.
>>
>>
>>     I will confirm the work schedule once received from the Engineers
>>     and I look forward to your response on the above.
