   Barry Boswell of Cherokee Nation Industries' Construction Management said his office was looking at several different reasons why the tiles fell. He said the damage may have been caused by a powerful storm system that swept through the area that weekend.
   
   "We're looking into what caused the failure and are going to spearhead the resolution to that failure," he said.
   ...
   None of those tiles have fallen, but Boswell said there have been troubles with their attachment as well.
   
   "We've had none of them fall as of yet and we're going to take steps, now that the tile people have visited the site, to secure the tiles that are there to keep them from falling because we believe that they are at the same risk."
   
   He said his office, along with the company that attached the tiles to monument - Creative Edge from Iowa - have taken steps to secure the tiles. Boswell said the tile company has been "very cooperative" and feels that in time, the memorial will be back to its original appearance.
   
   He said his office had no timetable on how long it could take to make the repairs.

   Barry Boswell, director of Construction Management, said that was taken into consideration during the planning of the project.
   
   "It's more functionality driven," he said. "It's a matter of making it comfortable and flexible in regard to the events that will be taking place there. Basically it's going to get a complete inside and outside refurbishing."
   
   Environmental issues also had to be dealt with at the building.
   
   "There are lead issues at that property so as a result we have contracted with the Community Services lead abatement program," Boswell said.
   ...
   Boswell said while Construction Management is the hub of the project, they have contracted with other CN departments.
   
   "We are coordinating with elements of Risk Management, Environmental Services, Community Services as well as temporary skilled laborers under our direct supervision to conduct all of the other work activities," he said. "The result of this is going to be employment for Cherokee tribal entities and Cherokee citizens by virtue of breaking these things down into their smallest elements."
   
   He said by managing the project this way they have managed to keep nearly $70,000 worth of work in the Tahlequah community.
