Board approves up-to-$2,500 inspection of Morehouse Museum steeple
Summary
Supervisor Fernandez reported an $8,000 painting estimate for the museum steeple but asked the board to authorize a contractor to inspect and assess necessary repairs with a budget not to exceed $2,500; the board approved the motion.
Supervisor Anthony Fernandez told the board he is seeking an electrician to move roof power lines underground at the Morehouse Museum and reported an estimate of about $8,000 to paint the steeple, noting the steeple needs repairs before painting. Fernandez asked for approval to hire a contractor to inspect the steeple with a budget not to exceed $2,500. Mary Ann Mosher moved to hire a contractor for assessment with $2,500 budgeted; William Uebele seconded and the motion carried.
The minutes do not record the contractor's name or a firm bid for the inspection. Fernandez framed the inspection as a preliminary step before undertaking painting or more extensive repairs; the board capped the inspection cost at $2,500 and directed the supervisor to proceed with the assessment.
