is sufficiently large to hire and pay another contractor to complete the work.
Discussion was had on the work to be completed. Mr. Greengard stated
one driveway was not satisfactory but he agreed with Zera Construction Company
that the contractor was not responsible for repairs to sidewalks damaged by
the construction of new - houses. The manager stated only one bldiiicfor damages
had been filed in connection with Special Assessment No. 108, a dead tree on
the Becker property at 244 Kenmore, which has been turned over to the contractor's
attorney. Mr. Zera asked for a copy of the check list.
Mr. Bootz moved, seconded by Mr. Slavin, that an extension to July 19,

Motion carried unanimously.
Re: S/A 4107 In connection with Special Assessment No. 107
A release from any claims for damages was
received from Mr. Armand Beloian,259 Kenmore, and a Waiver of Lien from William

struction Company, stated the Village will be held harmless from any liability
arising from the work done under Special Assessment No. 107. Mr. Slavin stated
Mr. DeBofsky's letter gave no indication of any authority to enter into a hold
harmless agreement, and suggested that the Village attorney prepare an appropriate
form for signature by the company and the attorney. There was no objection to the
preparation of a final voucher for George W. Kennedy Construction Company.

ments, on motion by Mr. Slavin, seconded by Mr. Turner, the meeting was adjourned
