Resident criticizes delayed roof repairs at Stanhuel Hall, city says contractor may be available
Summary
A resident identifying himself as John, an experienced slate roofer, urged the city to temporarily patch a leaking area at Stanhuel Hall to prevent rot; city staff said a contractor will attempt a repair this week but cold weather may limit work.
During public comment, a resident who identified himself as John (address provided) and described himself as "an expert slate roofer" raised a concern about a leaking area on the Stanhuel Hall roof and urged immediate temporary repairs. "I would have been fired at my job if I did not put a patch over a leaking area the same day or the day after," he said, and added that the roof area is "rotting away as we speak."
City officials acknowledged the concern and said one of the roofers the city is evaluating could come this week to tack up the slate, but staff cautioned that cold temperatures may make that work difficult. The mayor asked staff to see if a temporary tack or patch is possible given current conditions.
