Board discusses painting, carpet and repairs; painting targeted for 2027 budget
Summary
Director outlined interior maintenance needs — wall repairs, paint (12 years old), railing repair and potential carpet cleaning/replacement — and said she will seek multiple quotes and likely place painting work in the 2027 budget; carpet cleaning last cost about $800.
The Library Director described visible wear in the building — peeling paint, wall repairs and a railing removed because it had been pulled out of the wall — and recommended gathering multiple quotes for painting and possible carpet work.
She said the current paint is about 12 years old and that last carpet cleaning cost roughly $800; she asked the board whether to get quotes for painting (upstairs, downstairs, full building) and for carpet cleaning or replacement. The director said painting work would likely be budgeted for 2027, but she will collect quotes and consider smaller cosmetic repairs sooner if feasible.
Board members raised concerns about timing if a nearby infrastructure project will use the alley and increase tracking of mud and debris; they suggested coordinating schedule and obtaining ballpark figures now to guide future budget requests.
