Council reviews insurance roof inspection and discusses scissor-lift options
Summary
A misdirected insurance inspection led to a re-inspection and a structural engineer review; council members also discussed whether to rent, lease or buy a scissor lift and asked staff to produce a plan and cost estimates.
In department reports the council noted that an insurance inspector initially inspected the wrong roof; a second inspector and a structural engineer have now evaluated the roof and their findings are being forwarded to the insurer for claim evaluation.
The council also discussed equipment needs for municipal maintenance after the scissor lift at town facilities was reported as not working. Members debated short-term rental versus a multi‑year lease or purchase and asked staff to prepare a plan listing projects, estimated durations and cost comparisons so the council can determine the most cost‑effective approach.
