Staff presented a $22,000 progress payment for the kitchen hood installation performed by Conklin Service Corporation and recommended approval. Brian Gardner informed the committee that the original subcontractor for the hood, Gem Mechanical, "ended up dissolve they were the contractor for the hood" but that Gem's commercial division was honoring warranty work and dispatched trucks to make repairs.
