East Canton council approves summer paving, playground and village-hall roof projects
Summary
Council approved contracts to repave village streets, replace playground equipment and proceed with village-hall roof work; motions passed with roll call votes recorded as ‘Yay’ for all members present.
The Village of East Canton moved forward with three summer capital projects after councilors made motions and approved funding during the meeting.
Councilors voted to approve $78,180 to Northstar Asphalt for street paving to be completed this summer, with the councilor noting the village will coordinate around the state Route 30 paving timeline. The motion to approve paving was made and seconded and carried.
The council also approved a playground replacement contract described in the meeting packet; the amount read aloud in the transcript appears as "$24,25" (the meeting transcript’s figure is unclear). Staff told council the playground equipment has a lead time of roughly 10–12 weeks after ordering and could be installed by August if approved promptly.
Finally, council approved funds to hire Yoda Roofing for the village-hall roof project; the figure read in the meeting audio/transcript appears as "$34,36843" (transcript unclear). Councilors discussed warranty differences and whether to repair or remove the small bell tower structure (referred to in the meeting as the ‘‘koopla’’). One council member favored removing the tower rather than restoring it and asked staff to obtain quotes both to repair the existing structure and to replace it with a pitched roof.
Roll calls recorded affirmatives for the playground and roofing motions: the transcript shows Collins, Blue, Snider, Garmin and Hston each recorded as "Yay." The motions were approved as read.
Councilors asked staff to prioritize ordering the playground equipment for timely installation and to return with final contract paperwork and contractor quotes for the roof options.
