Council authorizes up to $14,000 for City Hall drive‑up window replacement
Summary
Council approved replacement of a damaged City Hall drive‑up window and authorized handling change orders (including potential termite repair) up to the stated funding, directing staff to manage change orders as needed.
Council considered a contractor estimate to remove the existing drive‑up window and install a new window frame and exterior repairs. Staff warned of possible termite damage behind the wall, which could increase scope and cost if found during replacement.
Council president Hart moved that the city proceed with the replacement based on current knowledge and address any change orders as they arise; the motion included authorization for up to $14,000 to complete the work. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Council directed staff to proceed with ordering the window (lead time 6–8 weeks) and to return for additional approvals if change orders exceed authorized contingencies.
The council asked staff to preserve the drive‑up function during construction if feasible and to return with final change orders should termite damage require more extensive work.
