HUNTINGTON BEACH PUBLIC FACILITIES CORPORATION MEETING OF
November 26, 1975
President Curran opened the Executive Session and commented that
nothing had been accomplished or resolved at the November 10th joing
Executive Session with the City Council and the Library Board other
than for the City to agree to pay up to $200.00 to find out if Dion
Neutra has Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions) Insurance. The
$200.00 will pay for the professional services of an Investigator.
A lengthy discussion regarding the Neutra unresolved final Progress
Payment and the adequacy of his design drawings of the Library ensued --which
also covered whether or not their is a basis for a law suit.
Mr. Georges informed the Board the Investigator hired could not find
an Insurance Company that carried Professional Liability Insurance on Mr.
Neutra.
Decisions reached during Executive Session are as follows:
1. Mr. Georges to research whether or not, by law, Mr. Neutra should have
had Errors & Omissions Insurance (Professional Liability), or a Bond, and
whether the City had required him to or not.
2. Mr. Kiser to find out if the Civic Center Architect, Kurt Meyer, carries
Professional Liability Insurance.
3. Mr. Kiser to obtain several names from the A.I.A. of qualified architects
who could give an opinion as to the adequacy of the design drawings and al-
so who have had experience in giving Court testimony as "expert witnesses".
4. Should Mr. Neutra file for arbitration, Mr. Georges was given the authori-
ty to immediately answer with a cross complaint, on behalf of the PFC, for
one million dollars plus five million dollars punitive damages.
5. Mr. Kiser to write a confidential memo to the City Attorney regarding
HBPFC requests of Mr. Georges outlined above.
6. Mr. Georges to write a Resolution to be given to the City administrator
and the City Council stating: "No further funds of the HBPFC shall be ex-
pended for any reason whatsoever to Dion Neutra unless the PFC specifically
approves otherwise. Furthermore, the Board does not intend to pay any ne-
gotiation settlement monies whatsoever".
7. To defer any other action until Mr. Neutra makes his move.
