Council approves using insurance payout to repair town hall floors, gym and basement upgrades
Summary
Council approved spending a $23,889.74 insurance payout to replace upstairs flooring and to repair and paint gym and basement areas, pending minor budget adjustments and procurement steps; work to begin with contractor available mid-July.
Speaker 4 reported the town received a $23,889.74 insurance payment to repair water damage at town hall. Two bids were received for upstairs work: Economy Floors ($16,572) and a second bidder ($9,175) that would cover upstairs areas including the stage and kitchen. Additional estimates for painting and basement repairs were provided: gym painting $8,500; basement walls/ceiling $6,100; floor removal and repaint $1,600. After accounting for bids, speaker 4 calculated a remaining balance (roughly $1,486) and proposed proceeding with carpet-tile replacement upstairs and using remaining funds plus a $2,300 budget update to cover additional work.
Council members discussed whether the drinking fountain must be replaced for code or ADA reasons; the clerk (Speaker 11) and others suggested checking building-code/ADA requirements and Sunrise (regional authority) for guidance. Several members favored removing the drinking fountain and using a kitchen sink or providing bottled water if necessary, pending legal/health guidance.
Speaker 4 moved to proceed with spending the insurance funds on upstairs flooring and to begin basement repairs; the council approved moving forward and agreed to provide keys and contractor access when work begins. Contractor availability was noted to start carpet work on the 14th (mid-July). Procurement rules were discussed and the clerk was asked to document quotes for transparency.
