He stated not using footings would save money but that issue 5 was not discussed and should be addressed with Mr. Kost. 6 Anderson stated most times the engineering firms error on the side of over design and expensive 7 materials to assure that all are satisfied with the project once completed. He explained that when 8 the final plan is completed,the Commission can make some of those changes. 9 Anderson stated if the fencing can be done differently, it could save $25,000 to $30,000.
