Commission approves $150,000 for Fulmer Library elevator after split vote
Summary
After discussion about quotes and alternates, the Board approved a $150,000 request to modernize the Fulmer Library elevator. The motion passed 3-2 (Haswell, Siddle, Wright yes; Arzy, Jennings no).
Library Director Amy Long told the board that the Fulmer Library elevator is at the end of its lifespan, has sourcing issues, and has been non-operational for over two months. The library submitted a modernization proposal with a base quote of $144,500; Commissioner Holly Jennings asked whether that figure included proposed alternates such as a battery backup, interior upgrades and an air purifier.
Commissioner Nick Siddle moved to approve the library's $150,000 funding request to modernize the elevator. The board voted 3-2: Commissioners Haswell, Siddle and Wright in favor; Commissioners Arzy and Jennings opposed. The commissioners directed staff to proceed with the basic upgrade to ensure ADA access; specifics about which alternates will be funded were not resolved at the staff meeting and may be addressed in subsequent procurement paperwork.
