After reviewing a bid to reattach the roof, the council voted to explore demolition costs for the Balloon Building and directed staff to return with estimates.

Council members did not approve demolition at this meeting; instead they authorized staff to obtain cost estimates for demolition so the council can weigh repair versus removal at a future meeting. The minutes do not include a demolition estimate or contractor names, only that the council approved pursuing cost information.
