When we pay $600 a square foot to enclose TWO walls at the CC, and $375 a square foot to build a bathroom and the usual and customary costs should be $125 a square foot, a reasonable person has to ask- where did the EXTRA $350k for the CC and the $280k for the bathrooms go? We KNOW that both bathrooms can be bulit for 140k, and that includes a nice 25% profit for the builder- why did we pay over 414k? We know the actual costs for the Cc should have been around 65k, why did we pay HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars more? Is there anyone disputing the numbers? If so, present the numbers and rationale behind those numbers you believe to be correct! Dotson knows numbers, but doesnt know construction costs, and was sold a bill of goods by the City Manager (who SHOULD have known better, as he was in charge of the projects). That both projects took over TWO years to complete is a testimony to the lack of planning, poor management, and nonexistent legal resident safeguards and precautions associated with those projects.
