Loading...
Summary
The council approved final closeout for the Parkview Manor roofing and mechanical upgrade project, which replaced roofing and skylights and added HVAC and hot‑water equipment. Funding cited included Small Cities Development Program and a federal community project grant; packet lists additional HRA contribution.
The Saint Peter City Council on April 13 approved a resolution to close out the Parkview Manor roof replacement and associated mechanical upgrades and accept final payment.
Ali from Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership summarized the work: removal of the existing roof down to the deck and installation of a new pre‑engineered insulated roof system, replacement of skylights, installation of a new air exchanger, a new condenser and a new water heater. Ali said the project also sought to improve energy efficiency and the building’s general condition while maintaining 62 affordable housing units.
Staff and partnership representatives described the funding package in the meeting packet as including Small Cities Development Program funds (stated in the packet as $575,000), a federal community project funding grant received in 2022 (stated as $300,000) and additional HRA contribution shown in the packet. The transcript contains a figure read aloud for the HRA contribution that was difficult to parse; the packet should be consulted for the exact line‑item totals.
Council members who toured the building described the renovation as a marked improvement and thanked HRA and contractors. The council approved the closeout resolution by roll call.
Staff said the city must complete deed‑fund audit requirements to finalize closeout paperwork.
