"The cost went up 8% on the windows from from the from February," she said, and asked the commissioners to approve the increase so the contract could be executed.
Commissioners asked about account balances and contingency plans; Arlene reported about $66,000 would remain in the library’s fund after the work, and said the contractor expects a four- to six-week lead time with installation planned for September. Following discussion about whether the increase required re-approval, a commissioner moved to approve the updated bid and proceed; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
