Council asks for more details after police station roof update; $2.2M estimate cited for full replacement
Summary
Chief Angelo Febbo told the council crews had remediated interior water damage and that contractors estimate under $2.2 million to replace the aging police station roof with a watertight system and 10–15 year warranty; council referred the resolution back to the sponsor and asked for follow-up budgeting details.
The Everett City Council heard an update on roof leaks at the police station and asked the administration to return with additional budget and timing details.
Interim or acting official Angelo Febbo (presenting for the city) said crews had remediated water intrusion and replaced damaged ceiling tiles after ice dams and melting exposed cracks in the aging roof. He said temporary repairs and a tar-like sealant had been applied but the department sought contractor bids for a longer-term fix. Febbo reported an estimated cost "under $2,200,000" to install a new PVC/polymer roof over the existing decking, replace insulation where needed, remove several inoperative rooftop units or seal them off, and secure a 10–15 year warranty that would keep the building watertight pending a future new police station.
Councilors asked whether interior damage extended beyond ceiling tiles (Febbo said only tiles were damaged); when a new police station might be available (no timetable given); and whether it made fiscal sense to spend for a longer-term repair given a potential new station. Febbo said the proposed work would be more than a temporary patch and would avoid repeated interior damage while the city plans a replacement facility.
Councilors voted to refer the item back to the sponsor for follow-up and to continue budget coordination through the appropriate committee.
