Commission accepts $350,000 anonymous donation and approves Knight & Sons contract for municipal building windows
Summary
Commission accepted a $350,000 anonymous donation to replace municipal building windows and approved a contract with Knight & Sons — the donor’s recommended contractor — including discussion of the masonry work and an estimated start in early 2026.
City staff presented a donation agreement for $350,000 to fund window replacement at the municipal building; the donor requested anonymity but named Knight & Sons as the preferred contractor. "The donor of $350,000 ... just wants an agreement from the city," staff said. Commissioners discussed contractor selection and the practical difficulty of replacing older windows that were not originally designed to be removed without masonry work.
Commissioners moved and seconded approval of the donation agreement and the Knight & Sons contract for $350,000. Staff said the first priority is to replace windows previously vandalized before expanding work; Chase Gauley (EDC) estimated ordering lead times of 6–8 weeks for window delivery and about two months for installation once started. The motion passed by voice vote.
