The <br /> council was shown a Power Point presentation with pictures from the beginning of the <br /> project to current activity. As of now, the new completion date is May 31, 2015. Mr. <br /> Rahman told the council to date, they have had 210 rain dates due to our extreme wet <br /> months in 2014 and this year. Also, the tragic death of the owner of G.A.G, the <br /> construction company for the project. After finally getting a project manager specifically <br /> dedicated to our project, the manager suffered a heart attack. Unfortunately, none of <br /> these situations could be prevented. The council asked for a set of plans to be at City <br /> Hall and the Parks Department for review. Mr. Rahman said he would see that copies be <br /> provided, however, the two change orders will be attached and not added to the plans <br /> until the project is complete. The council asked that a representative from ETC keep the <br /> council updated on the progress of the project. <br />
