Housing authority approves suit protection and not to sue contractor
Grundy County Housing Authority voted unanimously to accept a liability policy from Alexander and Alexander covering commissioners in most civil suits up to 1 million dollars with a 1000 dollar deductible. They also decided not to file legal charges against Forrest City Dillon over Saratoga Tower boiler issues, citing limited HUD funding, possible design responsibility, and lack of definite defects. The board discussed funding half the three year premiums and approved new boiler work by Paton Plumbing and Heating at 4600 dollars.
