LISSNER Village Trustee Pursuant to a duly made and approved motion and a majority vote at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Village President and Board of Trustees on August 13, 1996 Executive Session was called to consider a litigation matter. Number of pages attached: 1 Date(s)of review for release: lanuary 11. 1997 Date of approval for release: ay � 9 8/13/96 7: 05 p.m. LITIGATION The Village Manager and Village Attorney brought the Village Board up to date on the status of the Grove Mall demolition contract and timeline. The Village Attorney stated that the initial work provided for the Phase II environmental study by Mostardi- Platt did not include testing of the Jewel store. The report was done for the purchase of the property, not environmental demolition. As a result, the total cost of abatement of the property is likely to exceed the original estimate of $63, 000. The Village 's agreement with Serfecz limits Village liability to $75, 000. The Village Attorney stated that Mostardi-Platt will complete testing of the Jewel under the previous contract amount. The Village Attorney explained that additional reports would also be required to develop bid specifications for demolition contractors. Mostardi-Platt has estimated that this report would cost $8, 500 but did not provide a formal offer to the Village. Upon further discussion, the consensus of the Village Board was as follows: • to authorize Mostardi-Platt to complete the Phase II report on the Jewel building at a cost of $300; • to approve Phase III work by Mostardi-Platt subject to Village Board approval of the final contract amount; and • To amend the demolition time frame to one phase during the winter months. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m. 1k
