Council discusses building maintenance and an insurance roof claim with $5,000 deductible
Summary
Council members and Peter discussed town-building maintenance needs (carpet removal, benches, scissor-lift options) and an insurance claim for roof shingles; they said roofing claims carry a $5,000 deductible and planned to have the insurer inspect the damage.
Council members reviewed maintenance options for the town building, including removing carpeting and benches and seeking a scissor lift by long-term lease or purchase for safer maintenance work. Peter said: "I'm thinking that as far as maintenance on it, I'm looking to see if I can find a scissor lift to either do a long term lease on it or buy."
The group discussed recent storm damage to roofs and the insurance status. Peter and others reported the insurer indicated a $5,000 deductible on roofing claims and that the insurer’s auditor would need to inspect shingles before a repair decision. "We have a $5,000 deductible on the roof," Peter said, and council members agreed to get the insurance company to inspect and provide any official offer in writing before proceeding.
Council noted some small outbuildings and park structures may not be covered under the current policy; they planned to get written confirmation from the insurer and document next steps in the meeting minutes.
