Summary

Nathan Van Boesker reported a $15,000 estimate to replace two front doors at the government center and noted installation and framing will increase costs; board members also discussed water intrusion in the basement and possible concrete removal and perimeter drains to divert water.

Nathan Van Boesker reported that replacing two front doors at the government center on Cherry Street would cost about $15,000 for the doors themselves and that installation and reframing would raise the total. He compared the price to high-school door replacements (about $12,000 each) and emphasized that wooden doors cannot be retrofitted to accept automatic openers.

Board members also reviewed options to address recurring basement water intrusion: removing the first 6-foot concrete section and regrading to direct water away, adding a perimeter drain tied into the storm sewer, and obtaining estimates for the work. Van Boesker said he was awaiting cost estimates and would provide them when available.
