Capital project change orders and budget overruns
Summary
Commissioners sparred over an '80% of expenditures' change-order figure from a former commissioner's analysis; staff showed the math mixed up appropriations with real cost growth. The letter going to council now says a 'substantial' share of project costs came from change orders and asks staff to propose policies, including possible contractor penalties.
