Council authorizes asbestos testing for field‑house demolition; abatement costs contingent on results
Summary
Council approved a motion to fund asbestos testing (estimated $1,200) for a planned field‑house demolition; staff said abatement, if needed, will be quoted per square footage and returned for approval before removal begins.
Council authorized $1,200 to test a city field house for asbestos before demolition work proceeds. Staff said testing costs about $1,200 and that if asbestos is detected abatement would be priced by square footage and come back to council for authorization.
The staff presentation noted variables could alter abatement cost estimates and requested testing authorization alone at this meeting. Council approved the motion to pay for the testing only; if asbestos is found staff will return with firm abatement pricing and a request for funds to carry out the work.
