Council agrees to proceed with mold remediation after basements force temporary relocations
Summary
City Manager Mark Musselwhite presented worst‑case Pro Restoration estimates to tear out and treat mold in the fire and police basements (approx. $18,994 and $18,940). Chief Scheuerer and Leuliette have been relocated to City Hall and council concurred remediation must move forward.
Demorest City Council members agreed May 12 to move forward with mold remediation in the basements of the city’s fire and police departments after City Manager Mark Musselwhite presented worst‑case Pro Restoration estimates. Musselwhite reported two estimates: Estimate 3554 for the fire department ($18,994) and Estimate 3585 for the police department ($18,940). He said the proposals cover tear‑out, installation of a drain if needed and mold treatment.
Musselwhite said Chief Scheuerer and Leuliette were relocated to City Hall while the fire department basement is treated. Council members indicated they had no practical alternative and concurred the work should proceed.
The discussion did not record a formal vote or a procurement decision in the transcript; Mr. Musselwhite presented the estimates and council signaled agreement to treat the affected areas. The item will require follow‑up for formal contracting and payment approval if the council moves to accept a specific contractor bid.
