Gilpin supervisors discuss adding service window and foyer improvements after police depart
Summary
Supervisors considered modest building alterations to add a service window or foyer barrier so the township clerk can serve the public from a secure window after the police department moved out; trustees asked staff to get rough cost estimates for the February meeting.
Supervisors discussed adapting the municipal building following the police department's departure, including installing a service window or informational counter in the back foyer so the township secretary can serve residents by a secure opening. Ideas ranged from an inexpensive sliding counter window to a more finished service window; rough cost estimates discussed in the meeting put likely materials under the $2,000 purchasing threshold.
Township staff were asked to gather price quotes or informal estimates and return to the board at the February meeting with recommended options. The clerk noted the drive-up window and front door are available for public service now, but supervisors said a foyer window would improve staff safety and provide a more controlled public interface.
Supervisors said the work could be performed in-house if costs are modest or solicited with quotes if the work exceeds purchasing thresholds; the board asked the clerk and a supervisor to collect estimates and add the item to the February agenda.
