Solicitors Report: 

None present, Tony did talk to Jackson and the only thing he has was Andy’s contract.  Andy wants to eliminate number four in the contract stating that Bobb’s Plumbing and Heating would charge the Authority $25.00 per hour to do any extra work and Andy informed the Authority that he charges more then that.
