Property owners raise concerns after mold testing; board to seek structural engineer
Summary
Property owners questioned whether the Welcome Center was fully retested after mold remediation; board members said only the infected room was retested, staff cited air-vent blocking as a reason employees were moved, and the board said it will engage a structural engineer if foundation concerns persist.
Property owners asked the board whether the entire Welcome Center had been retested after remediation and whether employee relocations were adequate. The exchange centered on whether testing covered only one infected room or the whole office and whether air ducts or structural issues could have spread contamination.
"So on the 2nd testing, was the entire building retested or just that 1 room?" a resident asked. "So it should have been the whole office retested because... there were other employees that were across the hall that had to be moved because of the odor." The resident said she believed the entire office should be retested rather than just the single room.
Board members responded that the second test was limited to the one infected room and that remediation had been performed; a staff member explained employees had been removed from the area because vents had been blocked in the back part of the building, creating heat and discomfort. The board said it would obtain a structural engineer to examine the foundation if further indications of structural damage arise. No formal safety order or evacuation was recorded in the transcript.
