Board approves targeted insulation repairs at Edgewood Library; rejects full reroof quote
Summary
After an infrared scan showed insulation issues concentrated around HVAC units, the board approved a $32,416.90 targeted repair for the Edgewood Library/Town Hall building and voted against a larger $185,105 reroof proposal, while directing staff to review lease terms with the town of Edgewood.
District staff presented infrared-scan findings for the Edgewood Library and Town Hall roof showing most of the roof in good condition but problem areas concentrated near HVAC units. Staff provided two quotes: targeted insulation and reseal work around HVAC units for $32,416.90, and a larger south-building reroof and wet-area repairs for $185,105.
Superintendent Viviano recommended accepting the Roof Care applied-insulation repairs for $32,416.90 and not approving the $185,105 full replacement. Board members questioned whether insurance or the lease with the town of Edgewood could offset costs; staff said insurance generally does not cover wear-and-tear roof failures and that the warranty period had expired.
Board discussion reviewed the lease (a 25‑year rental agreement) with the town of Edgewood, which pays $9,999.84 per year (about $850 per month). Members noted the disparity between the low annual rent and the potential reroof cost and requested that designated board members and staff review lease renegotiation timing and stipulations and return with options.
The board voted to approve the targeted insulation repairs by voice vote and voted not to approve the larger reroof quote. Staff will pursue an HVAC inspection to confirm whether units themselves are leaking and will return with findings and any lease-related recommendations.
