Drive by the new Denny Sanford Premier Center and you might be in awe of its size. But you may be curious about those rippled metal panels around the exterior.
City Council members are asking questions including who's responsible for the cost of repairs.
Those on the city council say they were told the city was only obligated to pay $117 million for the construction of the events center.
Tuesday afternoon, Dave Pfeifle addressed the council. He said an independent third party is investigating both the materials and the method of installation used on the construction of the metal panels.
Two new mockups will be completed by mid-October and then they'll have a good idea how to solve the problem.
Substantial completion should be finished August 1. The metal siding issue will not affect the grand opening of the events center.

ARLINGTON -- The Arlington Community House will be able to complete the installation of siding on the annex to the historic building, thanks to a generous grant from Mack Molding.
The Arlington Community Club, the organization dedicated to preserving the structure, had been trying to raise money since the siding had to be torn down during asbestos removal in 2013. The board had been reaching out to organizations to try and raise the necessary funds, but were shocked when Mack Molding, which is based in Arlington, responded with a check for the entire needed amount: $6,500.
"We wrote them a letter, and they sent back a check for the full amount," said board member Lynn Williams, "It was such a wonderful thing to do, people should know about it. They do such wonderful wonderful work in the community."
In November of last year, Mack donated $10,000 to Fisher Elementary School to help them get a new playground, and in 2007 donated $50,000 to the school for renovations to its multi-purpose room, just two examples of the company's charitable spirit.
According to the contractor the Club is using, the new siding will begin going up next week, and it is not expected to be a long process. Burdett Commons, the organization that most commonly uses the annex, has continued to utilize the space since the asbestos was removed.
According to the Arlington Community's Club's most recently available 990, $6,500 makes up a considerable portion of what the group typically receives in a year for donations. In 2012, for example, the nonprofit reported receiving $9,225 in the form of contributions, donations, and grants, plus $7,577 from fundraising events (after the cost of said events was subtracted).
The next project for the house will be the replacement of windows on the front portion of the building, but Williams says that will likely wait until next year.
"I was flabbergasted, frankly," said Williams, "that they went for the whole amount!"

Jeff Grow, Commercial Manager and Jordan Grow, Commercial Estimator for Universal Contracting in Orlando, advise multifamily building and condo property owners to be on the lookout for several common and significant issues.
Multifamily property owners should be aware of all exterior penetrations and any areas where water intrusion commonly occurs. This is typical in gaps among exterior finishes and around windows, doors, and vents. Heat, over time, will dry and crack sealants. Every few years, the sealants used on building materials need updating: on hand rails, windows and doors, and around fixtures such as lights, fire alarm strobes, dryer and fresh air vents.
Florida heat is so intense on buildings that it dries out coatings and sealants. Its imperative to use a high-quality product, says Jeff.
Its essential to check for cracking or shrinkage of sealants, and to then diligently remove and add new sealant material rather than simply adding more. Furthermore, exterior condo maintenance should also include repair of exterior coatings and repainting of the building this should be done at the same time. Universal Contracting utilizes a premium system to re-coat the building exterior for protection that lasts a minimum of 10 years.
Additionally, some of the most significant issues found while inspecting multifamily properties in Orlando include wood damage around exterior windows and doors, and damage around the building foundation. The common culprits? Poor workmanship or improper installation by original contractors, irregular or improper maintenance, and product failure.
Jeff adds, We sometimes find that the contractors didnt follow manufacturer specifications or code requirements. Contractors should always follow the manufacturers specifications because they were created with product warranty and code requirements in mind. Once water breaches the coatings, it seeps into the wood, and then damage begins. Moisture creates mold and deteriorates wood. Many buildings have OSB sheathing laminated plywood or particle board that is basically compressed wood. The glues can deteriorate and, as a result, the wood becomes damaged which can lead to a loss of structural integrity.
Moreover, heat in attics will increase temperatures and can cause glues to separate creating product failure even without water intrusion. At that point, we must totally replace structural framing members such as studs, headers, and wood sheeting which requires that we remove all damaged material before replacing it.
What kinds of buildings have the most problems? According to Jordan Grow, wood frame buildings commonly have more issues. Compounding the problem, improperly installed weather barrier, stucco and siding a common occurrence contributes to wood rot and mold in wood construction.
In our experience, the average age of buildings with these issues is between 5 and 10 years. From 2001 to 2007, there was a boom in construction, Jordan recalls. As a result, this contributed to substandard installation. The massive demand produced a decline in the quality of workmanship. There was an insufficient labor force, so many builders were using unskilled labor.

Efforts to save Bettendorf's old Forest Grove School are rolling forward with the installation of roof sheathingand the receipt ofa $50,000 project grant from the state of Iowa for additional work.
"That grant was a big shot in the arm for us," said Sharon Andresen, an organizer who began the effort to save the dilapidated one-room school onForest Grove Road in 2012.
Of the project grant, the group will receive $33,000 from the State Historical Society of Iowa via the Historic Resource Development Program, and members will have to raise the remaining $13,000 on their own, either in cash or through in-kind contributions, Andresen said.
The money will pay for gutters, siding repair and replacement, the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system and rebuilding the bell tower. The tower probably will be built over the winter in a shop. The deadline for this work is autumn 2016.
Andresen and others in the group are elated to have the roof sheathing go on because ever since the start of their efforts, that's the question everyone asked.
The sheathing was donated by Pro-Build andthe scaffolding by All-American Scaffold, both of Davenport. The plywood is being pounded into the intact raftersby volunteers working under the direction of a hired supervisor. The east side is nearly finished, with work beginning soon on the west.
Another summer goal is to order the cedar shingles, a cost of $4,100. The group is urgently seeking volunteers with experience at working on cedar roofs to help with this.
Also,bricks are onsite for the construction of a chimney sometime before winter. The chimney will not function, but is necessary to return the building to its 1920s appearance.
Also on the schedule for this summer: installation of eight replica windows and a front door that are being constructed by Carver Custom Millworks of Milan. The basic bid was $8,500, but the group decided to take on a $2,600 "up charge" to get historic, wavy glass in the windows, Andresen said.
The last of the money to pay for the windowsis being raised by Birdies for Charity, thecommunity fundraising program of the John Deere Classic golf tournament, and school supporters hope to raise the $2,600 during a car wash in August, Andresen said.
