Volunteers, Amish crew restore Lake Eau Claire pavilion, saving county roughly $94,000
Summary
Supervisor Skinner announced that local volunteers and an Amish crew rebuilt a pavilion roof at Lake Eau Claire for about $6,000, compared with a county quote of about $100,000, a notable volunteer-driven cost saving highlighted in local news.
Supervisor Skinner announced a local volunteer effort at Lake Eau Claire that replaced a pavilion roof that had been stripped because of mold and left exposed. Skinner told the board that after a volunteer and Amish crew completed the work last weekend, the county saved a substantial amount compared with the county's earlier price estimate.
"We got the quote for a $100,000 to put a roof on this thing...the Amish, with the help of lake volunteers came out last Saturday, and they did it for about $6,000," Supervisor Skinner said. She noted the story ran in the local paper and framed the work as a positive example heading into budget discussions. The chair thanked the volunteers and moved to other announcements before adjourning.
