Summary

Council approved a Mid Atlantic Fire LLC bid for $7,397.61 to replace sprinkler heads at the senior center after a fire inspector identified failing heads that require replacement before antifreeze work and recharges. Members questioned why the issue was delayed and emphasized the safety risk of further postponement given the building's occupancy.
The council then approved the bill list for the period totaling $705,810.89; Charles (CFO) said the largest single invoice for the period was an insurance payment of $196,825.61. Members asked staff to improve communication about outstanding maintenance items and to provide advance notice when multi-stage projects are postponed for safety reasons.
