Vice Mayor Gilmore inquired whether there is a difference between the durability of the cherry wood ceiling and the acoustical tiles and whether the Library Building Team or Project Manager had a top priority add-back. The Project Manager responded the ceiling change order is the only choice; stated the architect asserts to the durability of the cherry wood ceiling in his letter; acoustical tiles cannot be cleaned; a wood ceiling can be cleaned. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether there is a number two add- back that the money should be spent on.
