ISSUES AND CHALLENGES: 

a. Due to weather conditions we were required to pump water out of the basement 
throughout the week. 
b. Rick Williams (Design Structures) met with Dave Hyskell (The City of Hood River) and 
determined that we will be required to have a vault for the water. 
c. It is possible that we will not be allowed to hang a transformer from the existing power 
pole located north of the parking lot. Rick Croy may require the transformer to be set on 
a vault near Randt Road. We will work with Rick Croy to see if we can get this issue 
resolved. 
ISSUES RELATED TO COSTS: 

a. In our meeting with the audio/visual contractor it was determined that we will need to 
design the roof truss system to accommodate his point load needs. We will have pricing 
for the new truss design once the structural engineer determines the requirements. 
b. In order to gain access to the basement there will be additional costs to accommodate for 
ADA requirements.
