The City Board approved an $83,175 emergency roof replacement for the City Court and building-department building after staff described recurring leaks that have affected employees and operations. The board added the item to the agenda as an emergency and voted to approve the contract.

A staff presenter described multiple leaks and previous patchwork repairs and said a comprehensive replacement was necessary to protect operations. The presenter said the vendor (referred to in the meeting as Galuth) inspected the roof, prepared a proposal and provided pricing the presenter described as reasonable based on past work for the city.

Board members asked whether legal had reviewed the proposed contract; one board member asked if “legal [is] good with the proposed contract,” and the record indicates legal review had not been completed at that moment. Board members nonetheless moved and approved the emergency replacement, and one member (Billy Gomez) was recorded as giving the second.

Staff said they would speak with the vendor immediately after the meeting to set a start date and expected to have work underway before winter. No specific contract start date, written contract number, or warranty terms were provided in the meeting record.

The board also acknowledged a separate homeowner association thank-you on a different neighborhood drain/wetland matter during the same meeting; that correspondence was not connected to the roof item.
