Extra costs approved for Stockbridge amphitheater

Approximately $350,000 in expenditures related to the new Stockbridge amphitheater were approved by the City Council at its June 29 meeting. A $142,269 change order is for the addition of perimeter fencing and landscape buffering, and a $40,671 change order covers the addition of three flagpoles with lighting.

Both of those items will be paid from fund balance. A $210,661 change order, funded by the bond account, is intended to reconcile the $200,000 allowance set up for the second phase of landscaping and irrigation which was not yet designed when originally budgeted. Information: cityofstockbridge.com.
