Summary

Officials said demolition work has been paused after an inspection found more asbestos in ceiling materials than initially estimated; the town will rebid the work and update the council.

Chair (Speaker 1) reported that demolition work on a town property has been delayed after inspections found more asbestos than first anticipated. "When he called the other day, he just said that, when the company came in to look at the asbestos situation, they found a lot more than what they thought was there," the chair said.

Council members discussed rebidding the work and giving an update to the council once bids are returned. The transcript does not record contractor names or a revised timeline for rebidding; staff said they would provide an update when available.
