Capital committee approves $21,125 for roof repair at city-owned Cherry Valley property
Summary
The capital improvements committee authorized $21,125 to install a liquid roof coating on a city-owned building on Cherry Valley Road, citing quotes up to $100,000 and choosing a lower-cost product with a 15-year warranty.
The Newark Capital Improvements Committee on March 17 approved a $21,125 appropriation to repair the roof of a city-owned building on Cherry Valley Road.
Committee members and staff described the building as an older structure (originally part of a Georgia Pacific residence building) with a failing roof. Staff reported they solicited quotes up to $100,000 for full replacement but recommended a liquid-seal product that staff and local city-employed tradespeople evaluated; the product carries a 15-year warranty and quoted cost of $21,125. Committee members asked about expected lifespan and were told the warranty is 15 years and that Ohio climate conditions typically reduce shingle lifespans.
The motion to appropriate the funds passed by voice vote 5–0. Staff noted funding is available in the capital budget and said work will proceed under the public-service/capital schedule.
