Board approves library bathroom renovation request; $11,155 transfer to be sought from borrow‑it fund
Summary
Selectmen approved a request to renovate two library bathrooms and will seek $11,155 from the borrow‑it special revenue fund (estimated $9,700 plus 15% contingency) with Board of Finance approval next day.
The Board of Selectmen voted to approve a proposed renovation of two bathrooms at the Woodbury Public Library and will ask the Board of Finance to fund the work from the borrow‑it special revenue fund.
First Selectman summarized the project as a necessary renovation to address leaking toilets and potentially spongy flooring. The estimate presented in the meeting packet was $9,700 with a 15% contingency of $1,400 for a total funding request of $11,155. “So the request is a total of $11,155,” the First Selectman said during the discussion.
Library representatives and board members noted ADA considerations: any major renovation requires maintaining or improving accessibility. The First Selectman asked the library to confirm that proposed fixtures, grab bars and door widths meet PROWAG/ADA requirements, and the board approved forwarding the transfer request to the Board of Finance (the item was already on the Board of Finance agenda for the next day).
No construction contract was awarded at the meeting; funding approval will be considered by the Board of Finance.
