Navajo County accepts $50,000 state grant to replace Pinedale Public Library roof and relocate HVAC units
Summary
The Board approved acceptance of a $50,000 state construction grant requiring a dollar-for-dollar county match; the project will replace a >25-year-old roof at the Pinedale Public Library and relocate rooftop HVAC units to ground-level to resolve leaks.
The Navajo County Board of Supervisors voted to accept a $50,000 state construction grant for the Pinedale Public Library roof and HVAC replacement project.
County facilities staff said the grant carries a dollar-for-dollar match requirement from the county, allowing for up to a $100,000 project. The work will replace a roof that staff said is more than 25 years old, remove the rooftop HVAC units and relocate them to ground level, and install new units to reduce leaks and water intrusion that have affected the library building.
Shannon, speaking for the Navajo County Library District, thanked facilities staff and said the upgrades will make the library more welcoming and reliable for patrons in the Pinedale community.
Board action: Supervisor Whiting moved to approve acceptance of the grant and the motion carried by voice vote after a second; the board recorded its approval at the meeting.
Project details and funding: Facilities staff described the scope as primarily a roof replacement and HVAC relocation to remedy ongoing leaks. The grant requires a county match, making the total project budget up to $100,000 if the county provides the required local contribution. The transcript records staff saying the existing rooftop HVAC units are over 25 years old and costly to maintain.
Next steps: Staff recommended approval and the board approved the grant acceptance so that the county and library district can proceed with project planning and implementation. The transcript does not include a timeline for construction or a procurement schedule.
Quote from meeting: "These upgrades will better serve the patrons of the Pinedale community by creating a more welcoming and reliable environment for all who visit," said Shannon of the Navajo County Library District.
Authorities/approvals: staff said the application was successful and recommended acceptance of the state grant; no additional regulatory approvals were recorded in the meeting transcript.
