Committee approves $9,000 primer for Pier Head lighthouse paint job
Summary
Committee authorized an additional $9,000 from the marina fund to allow primer application before epoxy paint on the Pier Head lighthouse, a change the contractor recommended to improve adhesion and extend repainting cycles.
The Finance & Personnel Committee approved spending an additional $9,000 on the Pier Head lighthouse painting to allow a primer coat before epoxy paint, a change recommended to improve adhesion after pressure washing (the work will not include sandblasting).
Matt (public works) explained that the primer is intended to create a smoother surface and help the epoxy adhere given the decision not to sandblast; he said that the primer should lengthen the time between full repaints and lead to a better long-term finish. Committee members discussed trade-offs and confirmed the cost will come from the marina fund, with extra revenue from cruise-ship activity available for the work.
A roll-call vote to add $9,000 to the project carried. Staff will proceed with the agreed scope for the Pier Head lighthouse painting and document the expense in the marina fund reporting.
