July 23, 2005Situation becoming muddled, attorney saysTRAVERSE CITY - Grand Traverse County officials hope to learn the cause of a building collapse that released 150,000 gallons of partially treated septage tank waste when they meet at 9 a.m. Monday at Garfield Township Hall.Attorney Michael Houlihan, spokesman for the county board of public works, initially was optimistic that an explanation was forthcoming, but now says the situation has become more muddled. Several insurance companies, their attorneys and consulting engineers have reviewed the wreckage but no one seems to want to be the first to speak, he said. Regardless, Houlihan has proposed how the collapse should be resolved. He expects the responsible parties to reimburse the county for $29,000 in lost revenue, an additional $25,000 in administrative expenses plus the cost for the county to hire an independent engineering firm.
