Trustees defer action on Grama Community Building structural report pending Main Street-provided assessment
Summary
The EDTA decided to wait for a structural report to be provided through Main Street for the Grama Community Building rather than contract a private firm; staff said Main Street has Pryor Creek first in line for a report beginning July 1 and private firms were booking into September.
The Pryor Creek EDTA briefly discussed a structural report for the Grama Community Building and agreed to wait for a report to be provided through Main Street rather than immediately hire a private engineering firm.
Staff told trustees that after the May meeting Main Street confirmed Pryor Creek is first in line to receive a structural report through the Main Street program, with the line forming July 1. Staff also said private firms quoted about $7,500 per hour and were booking into September, making the Main Street-provided report the quicker, no-cost option.
Action: Trustees agreed to wait for the Main Street-provided structural report and took no formal vote to hire outside consultants at the June 16 meeting.
Why it matters: A structural report is a prerequisite to major renovation or reuse of the Grama Community Building. Using the Main Street program for the assessment would avoid higher private consulting costs and long wait times; trustees accepted the recommendation to wait for the Main Street assessment.
What’s next: Staff will receive the Main Street structural report when it becomes available and will return the item for discussion and any formal action if additional work or contracting is required.
