It is highly unsatisfactory that Mr. Gunning cannot answer any of our questions here today. This is not an acceptable way for a public body to operate. We are wasting our time here. I completely agree with the proposal that we invite the board in again in January, I believe, with preset questions that list the information we want and to which the public and the taxpayer should be entitled. I will leave that at this point and we will talk later about having the witnesses in again at an early date in the new year.

Mr. Gunning spoke about the agreed contract price and said that where the developer is entitled to additional payments the board will pay. As of now, is it the case that the board has not made any additional payments? Will he answer that question? What currently are the estimated additional payments the board will be required to make?
