Asbestos hits at community center prompt removal bid; grant denied, council plans reapplication
Summary
Asbestos testing at the community center ('Amy’s') returned positive hits; public works will provide a demolition/removal/disposal bid. The Wyoming Intertie Program denied the town’s grant but encouraged reapplication in March; the council will seek advice and consider a workshop.
Town officials reported asbestos was detected in portions of the community center after a recent survey of Amy’s, and public works will prepare a bid for demolition, removal and disposal.
Public Works Director Steve Eller told the council that the asbestos report “came back, with a few positive hits,” and that he would present a bid for remediation work. The minutes show the town will pursue formal cost estimates before taking further action.
Separately, the council learned the Wyoming Intertie Program declined the town’s grant application but encouraged the town to reapply in March. Council members said they will consult Alison Anderson for guidance on the next application. Mayor Pro Tem Heather Schoning requested a workshop or special meeting to address the community center’s planning and funding needs.
The minutes do not include dollar amounts for remediation or an estimated timeline for abatement. The public works director noted related cleanup updates elsewhere in town — for example, gravel deliveries at Bullfrogs — but the asbestos remediation plan will require follow-up estimates and decisions by the council.
