INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT AMMENDMENTS Board of Works members received, and approved, two change orders regarding the city's infrastructure project. The first involved the Division C soccer complex. The measure requested an additional $27,800, due in part to unstable soil conditions which created further need for excavation —and stone for stabilizing the driveway. A second change order called for an additional $9,509 for the soccer complex to develop more drainage pipe and accompanying materials.
