Engineer’s update
•	We received an addendum to the Engineering Services Contract from Tim Robbs of Taylor Engineering for resident inspection. The addendum was to Section C, Compensation for Resident Inspection. President Kimmel and Secretary Hirsch signed three copies of the addendum for mailing back to Taylor Engineering for their signatures. It would then be forwarded to USDA-RD.

•	Also received from Tim Robbs was the Geologic Evaluation done on the site by Missouri DNR. In Tim’s words, “Everything looks real good. The stream was declared gaining and the site was declared as having slight overall geologic limitations. This means the permit limits given in the Water Quality Review Sheet are reliable. We are good to go from this standpoint.”
 
Tim indicated that there is one more addendum to the Engineering Services Contract for materials testing during construction. He estimated the next addendum would be in the $40,000 to $50,000 range. Tim thought that it would be prudent to wait until we see how the District stands for funding before writing this addendum. We should have a better idea about funding late this fall or early winter when DNR puts out its fundable list. An additional variable is whether or not Bo-No-Del stays in phase 1 of the project.
