The minutes describe the canopy modification as a design change. A separate $22,403.02 item covers additional light fixtures with integral emergency battery packs; the stated justification for that item is a design omission. [Source 1 · p. 48] [Source 1 · p. 51]

The same table includes $19,810 to shore an existing structural steel I-beam and install a new cafeteria column, attributed to a discovered field condition. It also lists $42,250 to relocate a pad-mounted transformer, fencing and proposed plantings, attributed to a design change. [Source 1 · p. 50] [Source 1 · p. 52]

These amounts are listed under “Change Orders and Allowance Disbursements”. The minutes record the board’s approval; they do not establish when the work was completed or what payments were made. The board approved the August 31 minutes through its September 14 consent agenda. [Source 1 · p. 47] [Source 2 · p. 3]
