Schoolhouse roof needs ~200 slate pieces replaced; board to seek additional quotes and explore historical grants
Summary
A contractor estimated about 200 slate pieces need replacement and provided a second quote to remove slate and replace with shingles; both quotes exceed $8,000. The Select Board asked the recording clerk to consult the Historical Society about grant help before the next meeting.
The April 28 minutes report that Jim Mailhiot provided a quote estimating roughly 200 pieces of slate on the School House roof need replacement and an alternate quote to remove all slate and replace with shingles. Both quotes are recorded as more than $8,000. The board directed that two additional quotes be obtained and that Bob Toppin contact contractors used previously by other residents (Neal Lincoln referenced) to source alternatives.
Nathan Hewitt asked recording clerk Jerri Hoffman to discuss the cost with the Historical Society and to explore available grants before the next board meeting. No grant sources or specific funding commitments are recorded in the minutes; the actions are recorded as follow‑up steps.
