Board discusses phased parking‑lot repairs; curb and gutter work likely before paving
Summary
The board reviewed an operations update about deteriorating paving on the upper parking lot and heard a recommendation to repair curb and gutter first; members discussed getting quotes and likely scheduling the work for later in the year.
Board members discussed the library parking lot and heard from facilities staff that the upper lot is crumbling and may require deeper repair than simple resurfacing. The facilities contact (Doug) recommended addressing curb and gutter work and soil/foundation issues before contracting for paving.
Director Steve described the recommended sequence: (1) replace curb and gutter as a matter the in‑house team may be able to do when time permits, (2) request quotes or an RFP for the paving contractor to address a deeper foundational repair in the upper lot, and (3) schedule work to avoid library events. Board members discussed timing, with one member saying concrete work is often scheduled in spring or fall and suggesting a possible fall timeframe for major paving.
No formal motion or funding decision was taken at the meeting. Staff were asked to collect contractor estimates and to coordinate potential timing around library programs and summer events; the board signaled it may use reserve or carry‑forward funds when a contract is approved.
