Council hears estimates for Villa bathhouse repairs; contractor insurance and $20,000+ cost debated
Summary
Council members discussed urgent ceiling and bathhouse repairs at the Villa, noting documented floor and wall issues and estimates exceeding $20,000. Members debated seeking reimbursement from the contractor's insurance versus proceeding with repairs.
Council Member Tony Storbeck told the council the Villa ceiling is a top priority with the approaching weather and described documented floor and wall issues in the recently remodeled bathhouse that need replacement.
Council Member Brent Gebbie said he was disappointed in the local contractor used for the remodel and suggested the city should determine whether the contractor carries insurance and, if so, pursue reimbursement. Storbeck said there is an insurance document but the council needs to confirm whether it provides coverage. Gebbie recommended a fuller wall redo, citing a partial-bid from Morford's; he warned that partial repairs could lead to future problems.
Council agreed to continue the issue at the Villa board meeting scheduled for Dec. 2, when liaisons will present recommendations and bids for the council to consider. No formal council motion or payment authorization occurred at the Nov. 26 meeting.
The council did not set a funding source at the meeting; Gebbie estimated total repairs exceed $20,000 based on presented estimates.
