June of Supplementary information was submitted to the city of Eugene, outlining further areas of damage.

July of City approved Supplementary information, revising wall widths, sheathing methods, and required blocking. Plans were released on July 7th. At no time did the city take into account that the previously engineered truss plans would not fit the new revised plans with the wall width changes that were required.
