City, construction company settle over Arena repairs

Turner spent $2.8 million making repairs. The city did some of the repair work and also hired a third party engineering company to review the repairs. That cost the city $315,000.

Turner has now agreed to reimburse the city $244,000.

The settlement still needs the approval of the City Council.
