George Gardner's St. Augustine Report: VIC ventilation errors - who pays?
Commissioners approved $100,000 for immediate remediation and the hiring of a construction litigation attorney to oversee who's going to pay for an apparent design flaw that forced closing of our Visitor Center (VIC) restrooms until January.
"This project was handled by outside contractors," City Attorney Ron Brown told commissioners, "and right now there's a lot of finger-pointing among them."
A ceiling collapse over the restrooms revealed excessive moisture in the overhead ventilation and air-conditioning systems. While corrections are made, portable restrooms have been placed outside the VIC. More upscale temporary facilities are expected to be set later this week.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
