Clerk Melanie McGrath reported at the March 5 meeting that the city terminated its contract with Andrew Bergen of Bergen Siding and Windows, LLC, citing alleged poor workmanship and quality issues.
The council has asked BDS Doors to perform corrective work on the project, and the clerk said the city intends to contact the City Attorney to ask whether it can pursue Bergen for reimbursement.

No dollar amounts for the disputed work or the proposed recovery were recorded in the minutes, and no response from Bergen Siding and Windows, LLC appears in the record. The council did not take additional formal action on the matter at the March 5 session beyond assigning corrective work to BDS Doors and planning to consult legal counsel.
