Summary
Administration reported removal of stored items from the Big Cabin at Main Park, roof and interior damage requiring slate roofing repairs and plumbing fixes, and plans to meet with the historical society as restoration work proceeds.
City administration updated council on cleanup and repair efforts at the Big Cabin in Main Park.
